This album is a rare treat. It is totally moving, really fun,
and positively addictive. Can hardly wait until this guy is
OUT THERE and known, and we can all share him. Seriously,
you'll be listening to these songs years from now,
so it'll be one of the best purchases you can make.

At last, some music that doesn't bore me to tears with the same old same old. If you enjoy things like Lenny Kravitz, Elvis Costello, Graham Parker, Fountains of Wayne - but also want some jazz, some traditional blues, clear unfussy production, pure sounds and great musicality, then this is probably for you. I can hear bits and pieces from all throughout my record collection in this man's music. (The fact that I say "record collection" tells you I am in my late 30s, which will also give you a clue as to whether you might also enjoy this music). Although this fellow is apparently only in his early to mid 20s, he sounds like he has been making music for three or four decades at least - his songs bear the hallmarks of having been around the proverbial Block of Life a couple of times.
Another thing in this man's favour is that his music can be listened too with seeming equal pleasure by me and my 7-year old daughter. REEE-SULT!

One listen to this guy and you will be hooked. If you ever get a chance to see him live, then by all means do it. He is a fantastic guitar player, singer and songwriter. The product description has this CD as 1 disc. It is actually a double disc promo that never was and will never be sold in stores.

Keaton's EP caused a curiosity. exes & whys causes a craving.
Even though we're getting more, we want more still. We just don't ever want it to end. There are surefire hits, without the guilt. There's enough depth to free you to have the fun. The lyrics of the dance tunes on this album can be analyzed and re-analyzed every bit as much as the think tunes on his EP. Keaton's music is downright beautiful, like an irresistible view or person. On his website there's more talk of this album from a few fortunate others who've had a sneak listen. Believe me, I'm not alone in falling in love here. And this is the kind of love you can share.
