"Brothers". New album from The Black Keys
Everyone’s favorite Akron, Ohio duo has a new album in stores today, May 18th. “Brothers” is The Black Keys’s eighth album in as many years, and is just as strong as anything they have put out to date.
The Keys have such a consistency that is rare in any band or solo act these days. From their debut album “The Big Come Up” which features one of my favorite Black Keys songs, “Run Me Down”, to their most recent single “Tighten Up” and all the gems found in between, the Black Keys show an unrivaled ability to produce hit record after hit record. All this without even mentioning their side project “Blakroc” which features collaborations with some hip-hop heavy weights. Add that to their amazing live show and you have one of my favorite bands around today. Listen to any of their albums or see them live and you will have a hard time disagreeing with me.
So do yourself a favor, pick up a copy of “Brothers” on sale this week for only $8. And, maybe go see the Keys in action this summer in a city near you.
