He had played with and for countless bands over the years, but he'd
never really been a member of one, until Little Village formed (with
Ry Cooder, John Hiatt and Nick Lowe) in the late 1980s.
While Gary Lewis played drums from early on, many of his records with the
Playboys actually featured Keltner.
Profiled in the 1991 book "The Big Beat--Conversations with Rock's Great Drummers", edited by Max Weinberg.
