Keel VI: Back in Action is the sixth album by American rock band Keel and the first to feature the classic lineup since their self-titled 1987 album. It features rare, unreleased tracks from the band's previous studio sessions, plus a cover of the Argent song "Hold Your Head Up."

This was the last album to feature bassist/co-founder Kenny Chaisson, as he opted not to be with the band on their 25th anniversary reunion in 2009. ^[3]
