Songs Of Their Own - #5 "Brown-Eyed Women" Keller Williams

[@22hogfan94]

I love that Keller ALWAYS makes a cover his own. One of a kind artist.

[@AUnit2010]

Most underrated guitarist, and musician, of his generation.

[@exdemocrat9038]

Luther Dickinson as well.

[@NotMissingLink]

💯💯

[@jonathanleitch6176]

Just like Michael Hedges. So few know. If more did…

[@pareidoliarocks]

Seems like a decent human being as well.

[@wheatleyducks]

Cue Richard Smith. There isn’t a better guitarist on Earth.

[@AUnit2010]

Love you Keller. Stay safe in the world. You're an international treasure.

[@scottharrington4683]

Keller is one of the greatest gifts musically and spiritually in 2022..I wish more could see it. Good lucks friends, always stay positive.

[@SkunkNugget420]

One of my favorite pieces of music I've ever heard!!! All 23 are die hard American Idol fans I'll betchya.

[@plantbasedtechreviews]

LOVE YOU KELLER

[@helpfoolsouls]

No reason to cover a song if you don't put your own twist on it. This is awesome! Really incredible.

[@austinknowlton1783]

Agree and disagree... Appreciate this cover but besides some embellishments and a little faster tempo structurally it's the same as the Dead played it. I'm all for covers and play a bunch myself, but I think if you are going to cover Dead songs it should like a Dead song to a certain extent.

[@jonathanleitch6176]

@@austinknowlton1783 I dunno if that’s the intent of this project.

[@scottharrington4683]

@@austinknowlton1783 I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but Jerry never played a song the same way twice. He would have LOVED this version..keep your mind open always friend. It's why he was great, try and emulate that part of him listening to the covers. That's the only way to keep the dead alive

[@austinknowlton1783]

@@scottharrington4683 lol do you even play? Bet you aren't even old enough to have ever seen Jerry Garcia with your own two eyes. I have.

[@direwolf8124]

So glad this music is still going

[@robertgoodnow5069]

30 years ago I was at Prep School. My class mate was pretty good guitar picker. He would play and a small group would gather round and sing :)....when I’m asked my favorite Dead song my answer is always the same “the ones I sang together with my friends”...thank you for the memories

[@TheKckaloha]

This guy is a MASTER.

[@scottwinkle5183]

well you gotta respect a man who ignores string clipping..always a sign of a good player..enjoyed it

[@jackstraw1710]

Probably my favorite dead cover song Keller does, love this!! Way to gather all my bluegrass heroes!!

[@bradd5112]

Keller is a beast! Love it

[@jmo5186]

Nicely done dude, Jerry would have loved this. Glad I stumbled on it.

[@bayoulee]

One of my top 3 GD tunes

[@sethlumpkins8869]

Great guitar work

[@lisbethbird8268]

This is the song of our families. Love.

[@megasauce6468]

What a fantastic cover

[@billysapp5582]

Has Keller ever played with Billy Strings, they both pic every single note to a tee, which honestly amazes me. While hitting every note, the vocals flow clear as a bell.

[@johntallanger4036]

Love the dead but usually not into Brown Eyed Women. Amazing version. Makes it a much better song.

[@Kevtron257]

Dialed the funk to 11 and poured gas on the bluegrass , he took the best parts of OG BEW and purified them into this jamtastic piece of ear candy

[@eddiecharles9469]

Well said.

[@hoooboooy]

Love that raw sound. Great rendition!

[@austinknowlton1783]

This is one of the best Dead covers I've ever heard. And I've heard an ass of them.

[@johntallanger4036]

really, really, good.

[@cj2378]

Hell of a fella, that Keller. So smiley. . . bet he's got more than a few brown-eyed notches on his bedpost.

[@mtort40]

Killer cover Keller!

[@1_kindbud]

Thanks for that!

[@thewhitedemon666]

Hands down the best!

[@Zenjedi99v2]

Hunter/Garcia are reunited now. R.I.P. Eternal LOVE.

[@clifftanner8266]

This is a freaking great job

[@lisbethbird8268]

I saw he was touring a liitle. Infinity Hall (north) in Connecticut. Take my word, best venue. Middle of nowhere. Get ready for church.

[@davidmazzaccaro4976]

So damn good!

[@kaseypritchard9502]

simply amazing

[@BeauLyons-ym8qt]

Damn guitar…nice 🌹

[@eddiebarry4199]

What a jam!

[@melonhead49]

Great dead tune! So much emotion

[@zigguratdemetrius5984]

This is nuts. Congrats man.

[@quartzimaging]

Is there a musician anywhere who is happier than Keller? (btw, nice cover with some real nice chops on the guitar!)

[@josephhertzberg2734]

Damn, Keller, tore it up homie

[@bobhart6685]

if you toured in the 90s you prob came across keller in the lot doing his thing

[@mikehendrix2202]

Bob Hart Yep, also catch him in those bars with soul. Idk if he still plays in bars, I just know they tore the one down that he used to come to in my hometown.

[@jonathanleitch6176]

Mike Hendricks yup. In 1998 at Clarkson University I bummed him a cig and later smoked a bowl with him in my friends bus without even realizing who he was. When I saw him on the stage later I shat a brick.

[@joshdude6431]

The man is extremely humble and so insanely talented it’s crazy. He can make any song his own, beautiful musician this see live.

[@robertnewman4072]

Hey! I know that tune!

[@paulbureau65]

this man a strange harmonic bubbling out of control willie speeding down a strange mountain I aint never seen before

[@harshman121092]

KW is a rhythmic Jedi

[@Gnosticflamedesigns]

That's groovy 🌠

[@whyteowl4407]

Fredericksburg represent

[@journeyofjmfan1401]

When your playing a song by the dead solo it makes sense to add a lot of notes. Think about jerry phil Bobby kieth all adding the little things that make this song as dynamic as it is. Not easy to do in a solo acoustic performance, but Keller kinda nails it here. But that's just like, my opinion man.

[@tonyrandazzoe8210]

That saddle pickup hes usin is saddle sounding.he needs one o our pickups ....

[@plaid_jack]

Anyone know what type playing/picking he’s doing? Or is it just his style of playing? I really wanna add some of this to my playing.

[@morgan9493]

Some flatpicking, sweep picking and just keller

[@haikat4]

he gets the sound by playing close to the bridge. besides that its just crazy picking

[@chevy66driver]

Hours upon hours upon hours of messing around on the guitar

[@GreenMountainVelvet]

You might want to check out Leo Kottke and John Fahey. I’ve always thought that Keller may have been influenced by these guys, in terms of guitar playing

[@punkweb]

Cliche comment but not sure how anyone could dislike this.

[@keithsr.]

10 thumbs down !? that's fricken nuts! great job Keller!

[@tsledd]

+Keith Poisant Sr. as they say in Jamaica... eediatss!

Better than the Dead did it! Stellar performance!

[@bigswizzz6406]

Tucker carlson is good at guitar

[@howardrobinson4938]

Don't know this guy, but if I had to guess, yup, he's reached that point in life where he's become a caricature of himself. Ahh...don't mind me, this guy is awesome and really captures the spirit of the song. Sometimes first impressions can be misleading. I watched the full tune now and he's won me over. I'm just a bluegrass wannabe.

[@MikeOMearaChicago]

Noice.

[@nitefly100]

Am I the only one that doesn't like the sound of new strings?

[@newworldslackertv1011]

What kind of person thumb downs this!!

[@eliasstegeman6895]

its too complicated

[@drewreid]

martin sextonesque

[@paullywallee]

Man this guy can play, I just wish he wouldn't as much as he does. Too much ornamentation during the verses. Overall it's a great song and he's definitely talented!

[@PodOfHeat]

To "wanky" for my liking. Great hair though! 😎

[@Flavum]

Lots of string buzz. Either raise the action, or don't pick/strum so hard. Great performance otherwise.

[@josephhertzberg2734]

I'll let him know what you said here

[@bpatrickhoburg]

Not a great transition to big foot county, hate to say it

[@bpatrickhoburg]

Constructive criticism

[@chevy66driver]

Lol ok

[@bpatrickhoburg]

@@chevy66driver I was a little tipsy, my bad.

[@brkfstchmp]

The guy is one of those guys who's really good, but doesn't know when to stop or know when is the time to just chill. If there was a drummer, a rhythm guitarist, and/or a bassist, I think it'd be a much more balanced rendition

[@SalokinEnyap]

I've seen him live both solo and with bands many times and he can do it all.

[@langwaters9653]

I love this song but....just because you can play a lot of notes doesn't mean the song calls for it. For me it's distracting from the heart of the song.

[@charliefree2693]

Lang Waters quit listening to Keller covers then! he's not famous for original music or singing, he's famous because he can friggin shred!

[@MRBABAR]

This is not good. His guitar sounds like it's coming through an 2 inch AM radio speaker and it's just a completely forced and uninspired version. I like some of Keller's stuff- this just isn't up to par

[@charliefree2693]

MRBABAR I see your point but.. listen to a few more Keller songs babar, this is his classic sound. He blends effects with a dry signal volume pedal, he has everything running direct. seriously! no amp at all. what you're hearing is pure matrin twang! cheers
