This dude is severely over rated...saw him with his band on jamcruise and it was sooooo generic "jamband"...First was the funk song, then the reggae, and then the bluegrass song...come on already!!! Haven't we had enough of those cliches yet? "Jamming" can consist of all different kinds of elements, but the jamband community continues to celebrate this cheesy, phony-positive vibe, not touching on reality kind of music. Would love to see an artist in the jam world who is "honest".
titaniumstarship, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent comment were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this site is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
well um...no? your complaint then isn't with Keller Williams, it's with the genre of Jam. And that's what the genre of predicated upon. Being happy and just getting a temporary release from society's woes. If you don't like that message, i'd suggest maybe..i dunno..not listening to jam music.
dalcyte...i've been listening to "jam" music since i started playing music...15 years ago...Jimi Hendrix is jam music...listen to "Machine Gun"...Neil Young and Crazy Horse is "jam", listen to Down By The River...The Allmans, Whipping Post...all songs that tackle serious and dark lyrical issues while still pushing the musical envelope...you're comment about what "jam" music is is plaing WRONG...Know your topic before claiming ownership of it...Listen to something that happened before 1990.
scuse me. I love all of those artists, and love it when they jam. I'm also a big fan of other bands that do the same. But first, you have fallen under the misconception that I think when an artist jams, they cannot play anything that resembles the blues. While those songs adress serious topics, when they break off into lyric-less jam sessions, their music provides a temporary escape and lets you feel free to just get in tune with the music...(continued)...
When you listen to Neil Young jam to "Southern Man" for 15 minutes, do you SERIOUSLY think to yourself: "ah, yes! This really is making me think about the whole troublesome issue of race in the south! Of Course! I see!" no. You are like "wow, this is great and really fun to listen to!" When he starts singing again, it might be deep. But otherwise? No. It's just awesome and fun. While classic rock is my favorite genre, i try not to be a snob about it. You should follow.
While your point rings true dalcyte, youre missing MY point...I never once said that I was pontificating the plight of the African-American while Neil Young and Steven Stills were soloing together. My point is that the intensity of the lyric carries over into the solos and the music which makes the whole thing more intense to me, as opposed to most modern day jam stuff that jams on a foundation of lyrical nonsense and major keys...thats my point...intelligent and articulate...you should follow.
Well then it's simply a matter of opinion. It's totally subjective, while you're trying to make this type music fit a specific mould, when it simply can't because it does different things for different people. In addition, I guess you can't try to lable a genre of music, so broadly--and this applies to both of us. There's a type of jam that's what you're talking about, and there's another type that's what i'm talking about (before 1990? Have you heard of the Grateful Dead?)

who in the jam world isn't "honest"? not real sure what that even means but would be curious of a person and when they have been dishonest?
