In retrospect, each of The Black Keys’ ten albums (so far) bring something singular to their greater artistic mission. I must admit I was a little shortsighted in feeling that The Black Keys made a lot of same-y records the concerted effort to make garage rock/blues hybrids seemed to bleed together over time. Listening to the work that led them there yielded rawer blues sound. The Black Keys have been mainstays of my playlists since I, like so many others, encountered them in the wake of the release of BROTHERS, far and away their biggest commercial hit at the time. The growth of The Black Keys from underground indie darling to alt-mainstream rock radio single purveyors belies a really incredible work ethic and artistic influence that I know I didn’t truly appreciate until researching for this piece.
