I fully agree! These guys are great. I recently found out about them. I have the first and the newest cd by them. I love their raw blues sound. I would love to see these guys in concert. Good call to mention them on here! They are worthy of attention.

these guys are great! I have been listening for about a year now, and have all the albums, plus the Dan Aurbach album... really refreshing to hear this kind of playing and tone in modern music.

Why does the "Fresh Cream" album spring to mind when I listen to this track?

Love that "blown out speaker" Muddy Water's tone. Kinda reminds me of Chess Records around the time Little Water had that overdriven harp going.

Good stuff. Heck, it sure beats Oasis or The Killers... IMHO (of course). :P

I'm glad they do their music. I like blues and they put their own interesting touch to it. I enjoy their music videos as well. They seem to incorporate some good looking girls into their videos. They use violence in a humorus way! They look like a couple of everyday guys also. That impresses the heck out of me! I listen to the sound the comes out of the speakers not attitude and image.

One of the few Black keys albums I didn't have and it was their first.

just left Barnes & Nobel, got one heading this way.

My son was crazy about brothers, i like the jr Kimbrough record they did chumbawamba or something close to that.

Don't know if anyone saw Sunday Morning yesterday on CBS, but they did a great story on the Black Keys.

and if I'm not mistaken, that is a Super Reverb as one of his 2 amps, alongside a Marshall...

Anyone else notice the hollow body Dan is playing is an old Harmony (H77 or H78). And he's carrying an Eastwood Airline Tuxedo (also a hollow body) in one of the clips. I love that he's using this old lower end gear instead of $3,000 Gibsons.

Now I want to scour garage and estate sales for an old Harmony hollow body. :lol: and rebuild my vinyl collection. :lol:

I watched the news video and my wife made me go load up all four B/K cd's we own in the stereo and crank it up.

Our whole family loves the Keys, still yet to pick up a copy of El Camino
