“Keller Williams opens his latest CD, Kids, with an infectiously happy song about goats and kids, “My Neighbor is Happy Again.” Kids is Williams’ first album for children ages 3-7 and their families. This bluegrass flavored collection is bound to be a hit with kids with its inclusion of songs that deal with formerly taboo subjects. Is there any doubt children will get a case of the giggles over “Mama Tooted” a song about a mom who may or may not have gas? How about some “Good Advice” about nose and toe picking? Whether singing about coloring, “Taking a Bath,” or “Grandma’s Feather Bed” (a new take on the Jim Connor song made popular by John Denver), Williams entertains with a variety of musical styles and lyrics kids will enjoy. Kids sparkles with invention and a sense of informal familiarity, giving it an improvisational feel. Keller Williams happily confesses that his music has been influenced by his children, and they are a part of Kids. ”

“Keller Williams to Release First-Ever Children’s Album New Studio Album, Kids, In Stores and Online October 26, 2010 With his sixteenth album, Kids, Keller Williams stakes out his next conquest – the absolute adoration of the under-10 crowd and their parents, caregivers, and relatives. With Kids, Keller creates a style of family music that’s all his own, and reaches his young audience in a way that matters. While other performers play for kids, Keller plays with them. For the album, Keller takes influences of traditional bluegrass, “Chester & Lester” innovative guitar technique, Robin Williams, and Bobby McFerrin and transports them to warp level. And though Keller’s virtuosity extends through his phenomenal instrumental technique and range of vocal styles and effects, he never allows his supreme musicianship to get in the way of the pure joy of the music. Keller Williams’ high standards are preserved in his first CD for children and families, Kids.”

“Keller Williams is one of the most prolific musicians on the scene today. Whether or not you're a fan of his one-man band solo performances, his performances with his on again, off again band the WMDS, his collaborations with The Keels, The String Cheese Incident, Dark Star Orchestra or Jeff Austin, among others, you've got to admire his work ethic as he's almost always on the road performing. And whether you are a fan of his songwriting or not, you've got to admire that he's the epitome of a true independent musician. In 15 years, he's got 16 CDs to his credit, if you include his collaborations.”
