“I love me some Keels. There is a certain genuine authenticity that Larry and Jenny possess. When we get together, our wonder powers unite to form a giant, impenetrable sphere, of open minded, Appalachian psychedelic goodness in the blue grass style. I'm honored to be a part of this record and allowed into the world of the Keels.” — Keller Williams

Larry Keel’s latest recording creation is a solo album entitled “American Dream”, whose every component from the writing and arranging, to the instrumental and vocal performances, to the recording and production spring straight from mind, soul and hands of the Appalachian artist. Keel composed all 10 tracks on this record that can serve as an autobiographical overview of his life and career and the influences and episodes along the way that have shaped his personal perspective. Reminiscent of Jerry Garcia’s solo album ‘Garcia’, Keel plays every instrument on every track of ‘American Dream’, and the timing of the project is noteworthy because most of the songs were written during the COVID-19 pandemic quarantine period and the nationwide protests that rocked the country in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd, all coinciding during the spring and early summer of 2020.
The songs explore a catalog of Keel’s personal impressions and experiences, from road life as a touring musician, to accounts of the challenges farmers face, to imagining the secret world of animals, to not-so-veiled commentaries on social injustice and racial inequality, to celebrations of love and family and innocence. Musically, some of the tracks are rooted in Keel’s bluegrass-background style, some have more of a gritty, blues and old-time stomp, others veer towards poppy folk rock, and a couple of tunes are dripping in moody psychedelia.
All in all, this recording serves as a window into the world of Keel’s mind, at times intense, dreamy or burning.. always human, personal, musically masterful, yet inclusive of beautiful flaws. In Larry’s words about “American Dream” he says: “With this recording I’ve managed to manufacture some of the most mojo-istic shit I’ve ever accomplished!” Sounds like artistic satisfaction!

Keel’s turbo-charged acoustic power trio delivers a beautiful and fearless album capturing 7 of his latest original songs. The thematic flavors on “One” vary from the philosophical to the supernatural to the sardonic to the unapologetically romantic, all expressed with Keel’s charmingly gritty voice and masterful acoustic guitar work. Like the outlaw music icons he admires, Chris Stapleton and Sturgill Simpson, Keel infuses his brand of alt-country with guts and grace, psychedelia and sophistication, and more than a little wide-open shredding.

Thief is Keller's 15th release and the 2nd collaboration with the "out-of-sight" husband and wife duo of Larry and Jenny Keel. Keller and the Keels went into the studio for a few days in December 2009 and crafted a masterful follow-up to their popular 2006 album Grass. Comprised entirely of unique bluegrass renditions of songs originally written and recorded by a diverse group of musicians such as Kris Kristofferson, The Butthole Surfers, Ryan Adams, Amy Winehouse, The Raconteurs, Marcy Playground and many others, Thief is sure to surprise you in the most foot-stomping and knee-slapping way.
Get yourself a copy of Thief and rediscover how, regardless of whether a song is penned by Keller or The Presidents of the United States of America, it somehow becomes his own.

Larry Keel & Jon Stickley join forces for the guitar duo album for the ages. With bold acoustic guitar music, the 5-track EP includes three lyrical tracks and two cosmic instrumentals. The duo sought to truly challenge themselves and discover how these original tunes would sound with just two guitars, resulting in a very progressive album.
Showtime delivers a rocking rally cry for anyone facing challenges and urging them to get up and charge on! Larry Keel hoists this anthem with a nod to everyday people with huge guitar riffs and melodic vocals. Inspiration was drawn from the film "All That Jazz"- about the manic workaholic mustering the grit it takes to face the world.
New single by Larry Keel and recorded in-studio with Larry Keel's Electric Larry Land at Mountainside Studio in Charlottesville, VA.
