Following the lead of the Seattle power-pop trio Recess Monkey, Keller Williams will use a kid’s radio premiere (long) weekend to drum up interest in his album for children – the 1st such release in his long and illustrious musical career – conveniently titled “Kids” (due October 26th).
Williams is a fella who’s covered Amy Winehouse, The Butthole Surfers and Kris Kristofferson, among others (on his last album, one of covers, titled brilliantly as “Thief”) – so at the very least, “Kids” should be highly entertaining & all-kinds-of diverse!
