Down and dirty blues saturated sonic grooves,
The Black Keys simply rule. Straying so far from the trendy
mall rocking putrid crap that oh so many seem to love The
Black Keys just simply keep it real, and I mean keep it
really real.
Bare bones song structures capturing that low-fi sound
of yesterday easily is the key root of these masters of
gritty raw blues induced rock and oh they do it so damn
well. I won’t even begin to bore you with all the
retro comparisons that seem to seep from Magic Potion because
in the end all that matters is these f@ckers do their
rock 'n' roll home work and they must have gotten an A+.
It is pretty obvious that the Delta Blues and other historic
foot stopping styles are a huge influence on the Black
Keys and what a treat it is to see an Indie rock artist
mixing it up with such honesty.
If you’re at all a fan of Jon Spencer, The White
Stripes and other raw rockers but still enjoy a more straight
forward blues feel then by all means get this.
