In Reply to: I still think Jim Keltner is the finest drummer I ever watched in person posted by LWR on March 15, 2007 at 18:21:02:
Keltner has that amazing ability--kind of like Ringo, in a way--of being able to keep perfect time yet play just that tiniest bit behind the beat.My favorite Keltner moment is in the song "Slow Turning." Right after John Hiatt sings "and I'm yelling at the kids in the back, 'cause they're banging like Charlie Watts," Keltner plays a two note fill, bass drum and snare drum, just like CW and even more like Jim Keltner. Brilliant.
About Aynsley Dunbar, see below. This site is drummer nirvana--look up your favorite drummer from the list at the left.

backing T-Bone Burnette and one shit hot band in Golden Gate Park the 2nd week of October. I have seen him in various studio situations years ago, he only has gotten better. Yes that Hiatt moment has always floored me.
Thanks for the link
Check out Buddy Guy's "Blues Singer", a fantastic acoustic (even B.B. King sans Lucille!) working of blues classics and standards. Keltner only uses brushes and percussive tecniques and is SO effective/superlative.Have seen him live with Little Village (remember them?) and Neil Young with Booker T. and the MGs. Keltner is the only drummer to play with NY that can NAIL the Crazy Horse rockers AND the acoustic ballads with equal effortlessness and effect, IMO. The man is a treasure!

loved the album they put out - sorry I never saw them live. Keltner is indeed a treasure.
