Nearly six decades after their debut, reggae legends Keith & Tex are in the running for a Grammy Award. Their latest album, *Gun Fire*, has been shortlisted among 73 contenders for Best Reggae Album at the 2026 Grammy Awards. Produced by Spain’s Roberto Sanchez and released in March by Liquidator Music, the album showcases their enduring talent and dedication to the genre. The duo, known for timeless hits like *Stop That Train* and *Tonight*, expressed their gratitude for the recognition, emphasizing their 57-year journey and their role as one of the few surviving acts from the 1960s still actively creating music. Keith Rowe, based in Tampa, Florida, and Phillip Texas Dixon, residing in Toronto, Canada, have collaborated with European musicians to craft *Gun Fire*, featuring original tracks such as *Country Living*, *Simple Man*, and *On The Streets*. The Recording Academy unveiled the provisional list on October 3, with official nominees set to be announced on November 7. The awards ceremony will take place on February 1, 2026, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Keith & Tex began their careers in the early 1960s as part of a five-member group, later transitioning to a duo under Derrick Harriott’s Crystal label, where they produced iconic hits like *Tonight* and *Stop That Train*. After migrating to North America in the 1970s, they returned to music in 1997 with *Back Together Again*, cementing their legacy in reggae history.
