Jim Kellerrecently released a new solo album called By No Means, a collection of 11 well-crafted tunes rich with wry, dark humor and featuring stripped-down instrumentation. By No Means was produced by the lauded Mitchell Froom, whom Keller says agreed to work with him after he sent Froom some demos of his new songs, including raw recordings Jim made on his iPhone. "Mitchell thought they were brilliant," Keller tells ABC Audio. "He just said the simplicity…and the intimacy of those [demos] are what grabbed him." Los Lobos' David Hidalgo plays guitar on 10 of the album's songs, and also contributes backing vocals to one tune, "Find My Shadow."
