They started out indie and ended up famous, but the duo from Ohio have never forgotten their roots.
Proof in point: This fantastic album of blues covers and the songs and musicians who had the biggest impact on the music of The Black Keys.
Reviews from the interwebs:
American Songwriter: “The rugged Delta Kream captures the essence of what made this North Mississippi music so distinctive. While even this stellar lineup can’t truly replicate the dangerous backwoods stomp that injected a shot of adrenaline into the bloodstream of Carney and Auerbach all those years ago, it comes awfully close.”
The Guardian:
“The now hugely successful pair can’t perhaps sing Burnside’s Poor Boy a Long Way from Home with any great factual accuracy nowadays, but they sound thoroughly in their comfort zone and utterly in their element.”
Glide Magazine: “This casual record isn’t meant to change the world, it is just a deep dive into the tunes the duo love; less a major release than a passion project but by adding Deaton and Brown to these sessions The Black Keys blues workouts on Delta Kream go down smooth.”
