Keller Williams has built his reputation as a oneman band, but also as an equally prolific and eclectic recording artist. So, it's no surprise that he would want to stand his selfdefined image on its ear with this longinthe making collection of collaborations with other performers. No less than 31 other singers and musicians joint him on one or more of the 16 tracks on the 73minute CD. The biggest name, particularly for an artist known for his jamband associations, is former Grateful Dead singer/guitarist Bob Weir, who joins Williams on "Cadillac," the two exchanging acoustic guitar riffs and singing Williams' typically quirky lyrics. Then there is Béla Fleck, who adds his banjo to the progressive bluegrass of "People Watchin'." Although perhaps fashioned with the guest stars in mind, those songs are characteristic of Williams' most frequent style, as is "Sing for My Dinner," on which he's joined by the members of the String Cheese Incident, longtime friends of his. Other guests inspire different musical explorations. Jeff Covert contributes drums and lead guitar to the first track, "Play This," which sounds like a mashup of hardcore punk rock à la Black Flag and the funk of Red Hot Chili Peppers. The funk continues with the second track, "Celebrate Your Youth," featuring the band Modereko, which could be mistaken for a lost song by Dave Matthews Band. The appearance of Michael Franti on "Ninja of Love" inspires a sort of Japanese reggae number, and Sanjay Mishra and Samir Chattergee take the music to India for the instrumental "Lil' Sexy Blues." Secondgeneration San Francisco rock guitarist Steve Kimock, with Williams on bass and John Molo on drums, gives "Twinkle," a sevenplusminute instrumental, the feel of one of the Dead's "Space" improvisations, but Williams expects jazz guitarist John Scofield to adapt to his own style for "Got No Feather," and Scofield obliges. No matter who's accommodating whom, however, this is always Keller Williams music, with the involved guitar playing and nearnovelty lyrics that implies. But for once, that music is being played by other people in addition to Williams himself.
