CD REVIEW: Keller Williams "Odd"

The title of this album is probably the best description of Keller Williams' style of folk jam rock, and on this album he is at it again with his unorthodox ways. Keller is known for his one man show, utilizing his guitar only to transport his fans into the song, outputting an array of musical sounds using looping equipment to create a virtual band. Having a little bit more freedom in the studio, Keller is always able to create excellent music without compromising his live show style. "Doobie In My Pocket" is one of those live show gems that finally makes its way onto one of his studio albums. Another standout track is "Environmental Song." Keller Williams is one of the most creative musicians in the jam rock world, and with over a dozen albums under his belt, there's certainly no end in sight for his music. He is able to appeal to everyone, not just his die hard fans, and his latest album definitely has something for everyone.
