I've seen Mr. Keim's You Tube performances and made much use of his instructional material, but I recently got a copy of his latest album, "The Quiet American, Vol. II". If you haven't heard it yet, you should do yourself a favor and pick it up.
It has a great mix of original and traditional tunes. His songwriting definitely holds up against against the established material - he has written some really good songs for this album. The blend of uke, banjo, and guitar is great. The recording is very good. There's just nothing wrong with this album. At all.
I've always enjoyed his stuff, on YT and here and there, but I was blown away by the performances and the audio quality that went into this professionally recorded album.
If you like traditional American music you should give it a shot - you can download it from his website:
