The first time I was exposed to Black Keys was in 2007 at Bonnaroo. They took the stage during the daytime on Day 1 (I think) and completely tore it to shreds. Hair flying and licks blistering, they were captivating. I was hooked. I am not the most passionate fan, but I’ve definitely kept tabs on them since – they have a garage rock, go-for-broke style that is tough to ignore when it’s on the speakers. A White Stripes-ish fervor that I can really get behind.
Here are a couple of my favorites from those two aforementioned releases – the opening track from Keep It Hid, and one of the more solid tracks from Blakroc featuring some NOE verses that sound a hell of a lot like Jay-Z. Check ‘em out.
Dan Auerbach – Trouble Weighs A Ton (YSI)
Blakroc (f. Nicole Wray and NOE) – Done Did It (YSI)
