Ah hah! That makes sense that it was Keltner. He's awesome, although I've never seen him play live or even a video of him, despite decades of listening to his playing.

I have a friend who has the same Silvertone as John Hiatt in that video; such a nice guitar...some of those old Harmony's were so good, and the old Kay's too (I have one) but other models were poo...Tony.

Cool, Elwood - I confess I am only familiar with his newgrass stuff (if you're not, Youtube Strength In Numbers); this is another side altogether.

I'm addicted to Nicky Bluhm and the Gramblers right now...

That was great Mica! , I will look for more of these folks !  Nicky Bluhm has a refreshing approach .

What sonicus said... great band, and looks like it would be a fun gig for a bass player. They remind me of something else, just can't put a finger on it. Anyway, they surely compliment each other well as a band. Easy to see they've been together a while.
 
As an aside, I've been trying since yesterday evening to figure out if that Martin guitar is a D-18 Golden Era, or Authentic Series. I'm guessing it's a GE. Definitely looks like an Adirondack top, and the long bridge saddle suggests it must be one or the other... the pickguard is throwing me off though. Maybe it was changed?

Great band!  The sound reminds me of a band we have up here called Blue Rodeo, although they don't have a female singer. The mix though, and the sound generally.

I just received the Anthology of American Folk Music, a six CD version of the original collection of recordings  put together by Harry Smith and released in 1952.  Among others, Dylan, Garcia,and Hunter have acknowledged the Anthology as seminal in their development.  I'm currently listening the CD's 1&2, Ballads.  3&4 are Social Music and 5&6 are Songs.  Altogether a total of eighty-four recordings from the 1920's and early 1930's.  
 
Oh yea, and Nicki Bluhm is excellent!
 
Bill, tgo

Here's Nicki Bluhm with Phil Lesh, Scott Law, Jackie Greene and more doing .
 
Nicki's band is the one that made those really cool videos of them riding down the highway singing covers, like this one: .

Dave , I saw that one too . l listened and enjoyed it as well . It was also good to see Phil with his new Series II .He has a Birthday coming up on March 15th along with the famous trumpet player Harry James ! My Birthday will be the day before on March 14th along with Mr. Albert Einstein .

Wolf; one of the things that impresses me most about Phil is that it seems to me that he is always trying to get better, in both his playing and his singing.  And in this video, it looks to me like he's once again pushing his own boundaries, playing what I think of as a difficult piece, for what looks to quite possibly be the first time, in a live situation.  And having loads of fun all at the same time.
 
And another thing, while I'm thinking out loud; he is introducing us to a lot of really cool younger musicians, giving them well deserved opportunities, and probably teaching them a thing or two along the way.
