wow, thats an old thread, they have new album due out soon....
Chulahoma is a brand new 6 song ep from the Akron, OH two-piece The Black Keys. Produced and recorded by The Black Keys the songs on Chulahoma were originally written by the late Junior Kimbrough. Dan Auerbach (guitar/vox) and Patrick Carney (drums) have an impressive ability to re-work Kimbrough’s material without sacrificing any of the song’s character. Their music has been described by Rolling Stone as, “…woozy and sometimes warm, the type of emotions you’d expect from frontman, Dan Auerbach, who modulates his cynicism with folkiness…” And Pitchfork said, “The Black Keys may be just a couple of white dudes from Akron, but they seem closer in spirit to something that Muddy Waters himself might’ve considered ‘the blues’ than to any midwestern bar-band’s approximation of it.”
