The Black Keys (blues, albums, jimi hendrix, bands, song)

dantana · 12-04-2005, 07:55 PM

Anybody heard these guys? I got the album "The Big Come Up" awhile back and it hasn't left the stereo.

They're like the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion with more blues, less explosion, and an equal level of ass-kicking.

Download the song "Heavy Soul", at least.

Yeah I have a DVD of them, they're great. Real blues sound. Two players, two guys, drums and guitar. They have a Jimi Hendrix sound on the guitar playing. The drummers a bit crazy

They aren't mainsteam but I really like them

Oh really good live..

THE suck live? ...

ok, anyways this is my favorite blues band, keeping in mind i dont know many blues bands. they make a lot of noise for two guys. Rubber Factory is one of my top albums that im listening to right now. i didnt hear to many good things about them live though... like Jacinda up there.

I got Chulahoma and LOVE IT.

I'm not sure if I'll be dissapointed by their other albums. Opinions?

I`ve not heard it but I can`t imagine it`ll be that different to all the others.

The other 3 are very much worth listening to on their own merits but if you like one of theirs already go for it.

Well, it's a bunch of covers of Junior Kimbrough, and from what I understand it's a lot more psychadelia-influenced than their other albums.

In any case, if I did purchase one of the other albums, which would you recommend?

Rubby Factory is probably the most diverse , plus it`s their latest album as far as their own material goes.

The other 2 albums are very much blues based & pretty primative sounding.
