Album Review
Although he is a regular on the American 'jam band' circuit, you may not have heard of Keller Williams, unless you're a connoisseur of remarkable guitarists. A fantastic, percussive, slippery, fluid kind of player, Williams is also a Ry Cooder-warm kind of singer and all-round decent guy, if the all-star collection of collaborators is anything to go by here. Guests on various songs (think early Dave Matthews, but more World Music, and more eclectic) include Spearhead's Michael Franti, Bela Fleck, (Grateful Dead's) Bob Weir, and Martin Sexton.
The central element, however, whether on acoustic ballads, or rhythm-laden rock, is the perfectly-judged guitar, with style dripping from every touch. There is a lot of variety here, yet it is easy to get the impression that the songs were thrown together into an album when he reached 16, rather than fitting into some 'album' concept. Recommended if you're interested in how a Cooder-Dave Matthews combo might have sounded.
3.5/5
