Best Feeling - Keller Williams w/The String Cheese Incident

With the release of their 7th album, The Motet once again showcase their commitment to pushing the sonic envelope, while remaining dedicated to the musical traditions that have defined their sound. The new album, which is self-titled, boldly states that this is the band The Motet has strived to become. The whole has become greater than the sum of it’s parts with each member of the band contributing to the writing and arranging of the songs, telling a unified story through syncopated rhythms and melodies. If you've loved The Motet for years or are just tuning in, listen up, you haven’t heard The Motet like this and you won't be disappointed.

Grow Your Own

This song was recorded about a year after Pick ( my record with The Travelin’ McCoury’s) came out.   The idea was to push another song from the Pick album to radio and to have an unreleased single to accompany it and I had this song, The Drop,  which my wife and I made up while discretely drinking on the beach last summer while our kids got pounded by waves.  So, I pitched it to the The McCoury’s and flew to Nashville to record it.   Turns out I liked the song way more than everybody else did….  so the original recording of this song sat lonely in some dank dark corner of a hard drive.  After my Funk record came out and after the release of DOS ( Grateful Grass benefit digital release for the Rex Foundation) I began working on my album Vape.  The original version of "The Drop" didn't fit the vibe of Vape, but I liked that version so much that I wanted to find a way to use it. 

We recorded Pick almost live, with everyone playing together with me singing lead vocal.  Then the boys went back and overdubbed the harmonies. After Pick came out, I opened up the master tracks with the intent of doing an acoustic dance music record by creating new tracks around my favorite samples of that record.   (Similar to my record Dance which was my Laugh album remix ) but because we tracked it live, there was tons of cross bleed, meaning when I solo'd the bass track, you would hear fiddle in the back ground…. nobody wants fiddle on their bass track, right? Right. However, The Drop was recorded with each musician playing individually, giving me the ability to solo their pristine tracks with nothing else bleeding in, which is what I did.  In some sections I knocked the fiddle down a whole octave to sound cello-ish and ran the banjo track backwards.  I'm excited how it turned out and it has become my favorite track of the record.  On the increasingly rare occasions I have the opportunity to play with the McCourys, we dive into this one, which is often the most unique song of the set.  At least to me. Please enjoy.   Kw

"More Than A Little" was recorded 10/24/09 at the Egyptian Room at the Murat Center in Indianapolis, Indiana. This is the super tripped out/uninhibited jungle/housed up extended/drum and bass dance/Saturday night/end of set/DJ Kdub/live remix. Bitch.  This is a hot off the press display of my current looping ability at its recent peak. Feel free to compare it to the first version, which came out on the "Loop" record, which was showcasing the looping concept in its beginning stage. I'm far beyond the potential of what I can make electronics do. I just need to get more stuff. It’s out there for the taking (buying, that is…and this shit ain’t cheap). I'm just enjoying the thought of coming close to mastering the stuff I have that I've been using for years. Please enjoy this very loud while being naked.

Note: More Than A Little mixed live by Louis Gosain, which makes it another YouGoCrazy Product

Hello music lovers and welcome back to Whenever I Feel Like It Freek.  The place where I release music when ever I feel like it.  Its been a while because.......I havn't felt like it.  
 
This one is called Makin' It Rain. It was recorded 3/4/13 at Breezes Resort in Negril, Jamaica apart of the Dark Star Orchestra's Jam In The Sand.  The song is a true story told to me by Tonya Lazimby Jackson. Please enjoy. 

Makin' It Rain - Keller Williams - Jam In The Sand - 3/4/13

Please enjoy this Keller & The Keels version of the Mother Hips song 'Stunt Double'.  "Later Days" by the Mother Hips is in my top 5 of desert island records. In my humble opinion, they don't play as much as they should.
