Heaven Can Wait, shines a spotlight on Jim Kellers songwriting. Its his third solo album, as well his third collaboration with producer Hector Castillo (Beck, David Bowie, Brazilian Girls) who shared co-producing duties with Byron Isaacs (Levon Helm) this time around. Isaacs also co-wrote the album. Backed by electric guitars, swirling organ riffs and the occasional string section, Keller sings about life and love from the perspective of a journeyman who s been there, done that, and can t wait to do it all again. On a record filled with some of New York and LAs best sidemen, he stands out as the laidback captain of the ship, steering his crew into Nick Lowe territory one minute (Loving Her Again) and crooning a blue-eyed soul tune worthy of Van Morrison (Rescue Me) the next. Heaven Can Wait features David Hidalgo (Los Lobos), Pete Thomas (The Attractions), Marc Ribot (Tom Waits), Chris Bruce (Solomon Burke), Nels Cline (Wilco) and The Holmes Brothers along with Glenn Patscha, Bob Glaub, Jeff Hill, Yuval Lion and Shawn Pelton.   From his days playing guitar with the New Wave band Tommy Tutone (as well as co-writing the group s biggest hit, 867-5309/Jenny) to his current day job as Philip Glasss manager, Jim Keller has put his unique stamp on both ends of the musical spectrum. And while working with Glass can amount to more than a full-time job, somehow he manages to save some time and energy for his own solo work wrapping his warm, lived-in baritone vocals around a blend of heartland rock & roll, bar-band blues and classic pop.
