The Black Keys - Delta Kream - 6251
Tracks
The Black Keys' tenth album, Delta Kream, is a collection of eleven Mississippi hill country blues standards that they have loved since they were teenagers, before they were a band. The album was recorded at Dan Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville, and features Kenny Brown and Eric Deaton, longtime members of the bands of blues legends R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough.
The Black Keys have always been influenced by the blues, but Delta Kream is their most direct homage to the genre yet. The album is full of raw, stripped-down blues tracks that showcase the band's incredible musicianship. Auerbach's vocals are soulful and passionate, and his guitar playing is fiery and emotive. Carney's drumming is rock-solid and propulsive, and he provides a perfect foundation for Auerbach's guitar work.
Delta Kream is a must-have album for any fan of the blues or the Black Keys. It is a collection of timeless songs that have been lovingly reinterpreted by two of the most talented musicians in the world.
