Jaimoe Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Anyone else hip to The Black Keys? I just picked up their latest album Magic Potion and was floored. I have their breakthrough album Thickfreakness from a few years back, but Magic Potion is heavier in the blues and rocks like Led Zeppelin I. I'm listening to their 2006 EP Chulahoma - their last ever release for Fat Possum. It's a tribute to the late North Mississippi delta great Juniour Kimbrough. It's as dirty as Kimbrough and should smack The North Mississippi Allstars back to North Mississippi Delta training school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted December 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 The last track on Chulahoma is actually a taped phone message from Junior Kimbrough's widow to the Keys telling them that she is very proud of them - they are the "about the only ones" that have gotten Junior. Man, I got chills listening to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Magic Potion will be appearing in my 'Best of 2006' post.... When I get around to finalizing the order.Saw them twice (that I know of) in 2006, good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
