Keller Williams releases REX for Rex
This is the official press release on REX, the download-only collection of GD covers by Keller Wiliams, Jeff Austin, and Keith Moseley, released to benefit the Rex Foundation. You’ll hear “One More Saturday Night” and “Bird Song” from this release on GD Hour #1026, week of May 19.
WILLIAMS RELEASES REX (LIVE AT THE FILLMORE):
A GRATEFUL GRASS PERFORMANCE FEATURING WILLIAMS, KEITH MOSELEY, AND JEFF AUSTIN
THE DIGITAL ONLY RELEASE WILL BENEFIT THE REX FOUNDATION
Guitarist/singer/songwriter Keller Williams offers up a live, digital-only release titled REX (Live at the Fillmore). The recording captures a very special live performance by Grateful Grass – a project featuring Williams, Keith Moseley (The String Cheese Incident), and Jeff Austin (Yonder Mountain String Band) – performing not-so-traditional bluegrass versions of Grateful Dead favorites. The collection, recorded February 8, 2006 at Denver’s Fillmore Auditorium, is available now at itunes and other digital retail outlets. 100% of the proceeds from REX (Live at the Fillmore) will go to benefit the Rex Foundation, the charitable non-profit started by the Grateful Dead which gives grants to worthwhile causes.
REX track list:
01 One More Saturday Night
02 Mississippi Half Step Uptown Toodeloo
03 Eyes Of The World
04 Candyman
05 Loose Lucy
06 Black Peter
07 St. Stephen
