Keller Williams at Ogden Theatre
Keller Williams’ jammy, quirky genre fusion has won the singer-guitarist a following among the barefoot ’n’ baked crew, but even the jam-averse have to be impressed by his instrumental dexterity and versatility. Comparisons to Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges are inevitable but valid—Williams’ rhythmic work on a 10-string guitar sounds like several players jamming. Odd, from 2009, doesn't contain the crazy metal onslaught its cover suggests—Williams riding a two-headed dragon in some kind of fire-and-lightning storm—but instead offers a mix of contemplative acoustic grooves and laid-back funk.
