Description
No one can say Jim Keller hasn't been busy - Since his last European shows in 2023, he's recorded and released two albums, 2024's Daylight and 2025's End of the World - He's toured the United States - And while he intends to get back to Europe this year, he's first giving his fans a treat: Vinylly!, a collection of his greatest hits that will only be available in Europe, for Record Store Day 2026.
The record includes a dozen songs spanning the six albums of his late-career renaissance, four decades after he and his band, Tommy Tutone, topped the charts with "867-5309/Jenny."
Born and raised in New Jersey, Keller found fame after moving to San Francisco, where he launched Tommy Tutone in the late 1970s. Despite their meteoric rise, the band was short-lived, and Keller soon found himself in the proverbial wilderness, struggling to make ends meet until he talked his way into a job with famed composer Philip Glass. For the next 25 years, Keller would go on to run Glass's publishing company, eventually managing his career outright in addition to working with luminaries like Tom Waits, Ravi Shankar, and Rufus Wainwright.
In 2009, Keller returned to performing and recording with Sunshine In My Pocket, the first in a series of critically acclaimed solo records. His latest album, End of the World, spawned the hit "Black Dog" and has been riding the Americana charts since its release at the end of October.
Time to reflect on the best songs in the revival career of New York's best kept rocking songwriter secret,
So FINALLY here's VINYLLY!
