One-man-band Keller Williams has released albums on which he plays guitar, bass and a variety of other instruments, but a new benefit album finds the Virginia native performing Grateful Dead covers strictly on piano. The simply-titled KEYS contains 10 Grateful Dead classics and is available now via iTunes. All proceeds from the album will benefit The Rex Foundation.

You can stream Keller’s version of Terrapin Station from KEYS…

Williams discusses the new release on his website, “It’s no secret I have an unhealthy fascination with the Grateful Dead. Whenever I sit down at the piano it seems the only thing that comes out are Jerry ballads.  Even though these songs are not all Jerry ballads, I have sort of made them that way.  The lyrics, although I’ve been singing them most of my adult life, are not 100% perfect. Like any other music I play, I’ve taken liberties.  All of the proceeds from the sale of these songs goes to support the Rex Foundation, which was started by the Grateful Dead, in the 80′s, so you can feel good about that!”

Here’s the tracklist for Keller Williams’ KEYS…

1. He’s Gone
2. Can’t Come Down
3. Terrapin Station
4. Attics Of My Life
5. Althea
6. Brokedown Palace
7. Wharf Rat
8. Bird Song
9. Row Jimmy
10. Touch of Grey

Throwback!

Parquet Courts:  Light Up Gold

The photo on the cover is dated 1978, which is about right, but the music is much more CBGB’s than cowboys-on-the-ranch as Parquet Courts mix heady songwriting with powder-keg-punk energy to perfection. The bombast and fuzzy guitar rock is enough on its own, but it’s the songs that’ll keep you coming back. Start with Stoned and Starving which immediately enters the pantheon of great tunes about being high, and then bounce around to the rest each with its own charm, energy, riffs and wit.

Foxygen: We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic

Yeah, that’s a hell of an album title, but don’t be fooled this is a monster of a straight-up rock and roll. After a solid EP last year, the LA Duo has opened up, centering their full-length release on a single sound. Think of an entire album’s worth of material inspired by the Rolling Stones circa 1978-1980, right down to an updated Jaggeresque vocal ; little bit rockin’, little bit groovin’, little bit “out there. Derivative, but not too derivative, this is a refresher in what smart rock music can be. Enjoy!

Here’s the second video from the Milk Carton Kids forthcoming LP, The Ash & Clay. We raved about these guys a couple weeks ago, but this song is an even better representation of what they do. This one is the title track, and it bears a nice resemblance to Simon & Garfunkel. I’d say that this might be an early frontrunner for the most relaxing song of 2013.

The Milk Carton Kids have just announced an extensive tour in support of the album.

Over the past few months our friends at Bonnaroo365 have been posting clips of their Hay Bale Sessions in which they had Bonnaroo 2012 performers play a few songs in a quiet setting. We’ve already pointed you towards Delta Spirit’s,  Umphrey’s McGee’s and Michael Kiwanuka‘s Hay Bale Sessions and today we get to see The Avett Brothers perform Love Like The Movies.

The promoters of Wilco’s Solid Sound Music and Arts Festival have come up with either an interesting or annoying way of announcing the event’s lineup, depending on how you look at it.

The lineup unveil will run through 5:30PM ET this afternoon and then concludes tomorrow between 10AM and 4:30PM.

In addition to Solid Sound headliners Wilco, the acts announced so far include Sam Amidon, Border Music featuring Marc Ribot and David Hidalgo (Los Lobos), The Blisters, Neko Case and Steve Wynn’s Dream Syndicate. Keep your eyes on HT or the event’s Facebook page for future updates.

The 2013 edition of the Solid Sound festival will take place from June 21 – 23 at MASS MOCA in North Adams, Mass. Early bird tickets are currently on sale for $124.

In a bit of shocking news, the Alabama Shakes have just announced that they will play a Rocks Off cruise on Thursday night. The band will perform in the cozy confines of the 250-capacity Destiny leaving from NYC’s Pier 81 at 8PM. In an effort to provide a fair way to sell tickets, you can enter a lottery for a chance to purchase two tickets. Head HERE and put in your name and details before 5PM ET today.

The Shakes, hot off their appearance at The Grammys, will be the musical guest on this week’s Saturday Night Live. Winners of the ticketing lottery will be contacted between 6 and 7PM tonight.

You may have noticed that Phish bassist Mike Gordon has been responding to tweets from fans on Twitter with his typical dry humor over the last few months. Mike’s short and witty answers are reminiscent of his responses in the “Letters” section of Phish’s Doniac Schvice newsletters.

Dave Grohl’s Sound City Players project made their network television debut last night, when the ensemble performed You Can’t Fix This on The Late Show with David Letterman. Stevie Nicks recorded the original You Can’t Fix This with the Sound City Players for the Real-to-Reel album which was inspired by the Sound City documentary and is due out next month.

Watch as the Sound City Players led by Stevie Nicks perform You Can’t Fix This…

We’re pretty sure that the members of !!! didn’t have SEO in mind when they settled on their impossible to Google name that literally yields zero results in the search engine. The bi-coastal band, who typically go by Chk Chk Chk, are poised to fill the empty void left by LCD Soundsystem’s retirement with their bouncy brand of dance-punk. On April 30, the six-piece act will release their fifth studio album Thr!!!er via Warped Records, and have given fans an advance taste of what’s to come by dropping the record’s lead single Slyd. Let’s give it a listen…

[UPDATE 2/15:] Yonder Mountain String Band will join moe. in the Red Barn on 5/24

Each year the organizers of the Summer Camp Music Festival hold “Late Nights” at the Red Barn on the Three Sisters Park property. These concerts are ticketed separately from the rest of the festival “due to the limited capacity of the barn.” The extra income these shows provide probably doesn’t hurt either. Recently, Summer Camp organizers have announced most of the acts set to play this year’s Late Nights during the three-day festival which takes place in Chillicothe, Illin. on May 24 – 26.

Jam stalwarts moe. and Yonder Mountain String Band will play the Red Barn on Friday, May 24th. STS9, Big Gigantic, Griz and Gramatik will perform at the Red Barn on Saturday, May 25th, while Thievery Corporation and Zeds Dead close out the fest will a late night on Sunday, May 26th. Late Night show tickets are available as part of the event’s VIP Upgrade packages. Pre-sales for individual Late Nights will be announced HERE closer to the festival. Other Summer Camp late night options, which are included in the price of a festival ticket, are Late Night Campfire Jams, the Late Night Vibe Tent and Late Night at the Soulshine Tent.

In addition to three days of moe. and Umphrey’s McGee, other Summer Camp ’13 headliners include Trey Anastasio, STS9, The Avett Brothers and Thievery Corporation.

This July our friends at JamBase will be throwing a two-day festival at The Gorge dubbed “JamBase Live.” The multi-stage event will take place on July 5th and 6th at the scenic venue in George, Washington. While the lineup hasn’t been revealed as of yet, there are clues as to who will appear in the email JamBase sent out this afternoon about JamBase Live.

The JamBase Live lineup is nearly complete, and the roster of bands that have already confirmed are incredibly excited to play The Gorge. Roughly a dozen acts have been slated to perform on the main stage, and for half of these acts this is the first time that they will appear on what many would agree is the world’s most majestic stage. Several of the repeat performers will return to play The Gorge after as long as a decade.

So approximately six of the 12 acts have played The Gorge in the past with “several” having gone as long as a decade without returning to the venue. With that in mind, we’ve assembled a list of The Gorge gigs dating back to 1997. Sleuth away and share your best guesses as to who will play JamBase Live.

As we wait for Phish to reveal details about how they plan to celebrate their 30th Anniversary, we use today’s Full Show Friday post to look at the band’s 20th Anniversary show. Phish honored the occasion in 2003 by performing a run of four shows on Thanksgiving Weekend with stops at the Nassau Coliseum on November 28th, The Spectrum on November 29th, the Knickerbocker Arena on December 1st and Boston’s Fleet Center on the actual 20th anniversary – December 2nd, 2003.

Not only is high-quality fan-shot video of both sets available on YouTube, but there’s also footage of the 20th Anniversary Montage featuring clips from throughout Phish’s career available on the site. Highlights include an outrageous Rock and Roll that opened the second set, arguably the best Maze in the band’s history, a fun take on Ya Mar that nodded to the Banana Splits theme song and deliciously bizarre and quick jaunts through Weekapaug Groove and Tweezer Reprise without the songs that normally precede them. Let’s take a look…

Phish – December 2, 2003 [First Set]

Phish – 20th Anniversary Montage

Phish – December 2, 2003 [Second Set]

Setlist…

Set 1: Harry Hood > Cavern, Birds of a Feather, Ya Mar^[1], Horn > Piper >Anything But Me, Water in the Sky, Down with Disease

Set 2: Rock and Roll -> Weekapaug Groove^[2] -> Tweezer Reprise^[3] >Frankenstein -> Kung -> Frankenstein, All of These Dreams, The Wedge, Boogie On Reggae Woman > Cities > Maze, Waste

Encore: Bug

 

[1] The Tra La La Song (One Banana, Two Banana) teases.
[2] Unfinished.
[3] Mike’s Song lyrics sung by Trey.

Notes: This gig commemorated the 20th anniversary of the first Phish show. In the audience, a section of seats were roped off to make way for a music stand. The music stand held a three-ring binder that contained lyrics from the Phish canon, but it did not play an active role in the performance. Ya Mar contained teases of The Tra La La Song (One Banana, Two Banana). At the end of Disease, a video screen descended behind the stage. As the house lights remained down, a 25+ minute video was played featuring retrospective highlights from throughout Phish’s career. Before the second set, Mike brought out a tray of desserts and shared them with fans in front of the stage. Highway to Hell was briefly teased by Trey before Rock and Roll. Weekapaug was unfinished. Tweezer Reprise included lyrics (sung by Trey) from Mike’s Song. Appropriately, the post-show house music was the Beatles’ song Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band (which begins with the lyric, “It was twenty years ago today…”).

A little less than two years after Alabama Shakes burst onto the music landscape thanks to Brittany Howard’s impassioned vocals and the band’s hard-nosed blues-rock, the group made their Saturday Night Live debut last night. The Shakes first performed a powerful version of Hold On and then offered a groovy take on Always Alright from the Silver Linings Playbook soundtrack as their second song.

If you missed last night’s episode, we’ve got you covered…

Amfibian / Utalk 03/31/2001 @ Higher Ground FOB/House Rig [FLAC, MP3]

From 1999 to 2001 and then from 2004 to 2007, Phish lyricist Tom Marshall wrote songs for and performed with a unit he fronted called Amfibian. The band developed from the ashes of an “aborted” Trey [Anastasio]/Tom project called Utalk. Anastasio and Marshall paired with two friends from their Princeton Day School years, drummer Pete Cottone and bassist Matt Kohut, to form Utalk in the late ’90s. When difficulties such as Trey living in Vermont while the rest of the band lived in the Princeton area stopped the group from getting off the ground, Tom recruited Pete, Matt and a few additional musicians, including guitarist Scott Metzger, to form Amfibian.

Towards the end of the 2000-2001 era of Amfibian, that version of the band made their final appearance at Higher Ground in Winooski, Vermont on March 31, 2001. Trey Anastasio emerged with an acoustic guitar in hand during the closing stanza for a handful of songs with Marshall, the first and to date only performance by Utalk and a three-song encore with all of Amfibian. Yesterday, an impressive front-of-board audience recording made by Dave Flashner surfaced on bt.etree.org thanks to the transferring efforts of Terry Watts.

Even besides the stuff with Trey, this recording is well worth the download. The first set and the beginning of the second set finds Marshall, Cottone, Kohut, Metzger, Andrew Southern, JP Wasicko and Chris Harford (Band Of Changes) tearing through Tom’s tunes for the project as well as an array of power-pop songs Marshall wrote with Harford. There’s also a killer cover of Pavement’s Elevate Me Later, a staple of Amfibian’s live repertoire. Harford even fronts the group for Kiss Me Like You Kissed Me In The Van from Band of Changes’ 1999 debut.

Tom has fun with the audience, who was no doubt expecting the Trey sit-in, by repeatedly mentioning “April Fools!” before finally saying, “I’d like to bring out a friend of mine” at which point the crowd goes nuts when the guitarist emerges. Anastasio and Marshall start off by debuting a song they wrote together at one of their songwriting sessions which fans dubbed “Thesba.” Years later it would be the final song the members of Phish would record before breaking up in 2004 as “The Birdwatcher.” While Birdwatcher didn’t wind up making it onto Undermind, it did finally appear on Party Time in 2009 and has since been played multiple times by both Phish and the Trey Anastasio Band.

Trey and Tom also played Phish classics Strange Design, McGrupp, Grind and Driver as well as the country-tinged Name, aka You’ll Know My Name, which Anastasio performed six times during his first solo tour in 1999. For the finale of the second set, Marshall assembled the members of Utalk for a stripped-down Wading In The Velvet Sea. When Amfibian returned for the encore, Trey was with them for Harford’s Leaf of Fall, a shred-heavy Farmhouse and the upbeat, pre-Shafty version of Oblivious Fool known as Olivia’s Pool. All in all, a fun listen and an important piece of Phish history.
