As guitarist and chief songwriter for Tommy Tutone, Jim Keller’s halfway responsible for the most iconic seven digits of the Eighties: “867-5309.” For the last three decades though, he’s also been a notable music industry mystic – representing management and publishing concerns for heady acts like Philip Glass and Ravi Shankar. Along the way he’s left a trail of solo records. February’s By No Means, riding the guitar verve of David Hidalgo, inhabits Bob Dylan/Lou Reed territory with smokily poetic lyricism. Keller buddies up with ATX blue chippers Jonas Wilson, Sam Pankey, David Boyle, and Falcon Valdez for a free, intimate affair.
