The Black Keys – Dropout Boogie

 

The Black Keys – Dropout Boogie
Easy Eye / Nonesuch – 2022
Rock, Garage, Blues
Rated: ****

We haven’t mentioned a lot of the albums released by The Black Keys, but Brothers made it to the Number 19 of the second edition of the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown, back in 2010. And henceforth we mentioned El Camino the year after. After that we failed to mention three releases before the new record Dropout Boogie immediately boogied into our hearts. Last year’s Delta Kream was that full on country blues, that Mississippi Hill, those swampy sweaty roots, and this year’s Dropout Boogie takes all that, makes it go boom and makes you want to dance. It seems to reference all those old origins as much as it refers to their older records. Especially those two albums we mentioned; and it all sounds so righteous, suave, and cool. Less gritty perhaps and whole heaps of oxygen to making everything sound spacious and wide. And then they have Billy F. Gibbons join them on a guitar once owned by Mississippi Fred McDowell, which he immediately plugged in and started playing along with that Good Love track, feeling it, feeling it up, making it Dropout Boogie legendary.

Sorry my fellow music fiends! Still in full fucked up work mode. No rest for the wicked! So no time to actually write a few worthwhile lines about the albums we listened to the most last week! But before to check’m all out and we hope to be able to do something soon… But we still have Reek of STOOM holding guard for us all! Check out what he wrote about Elder’s new The Gold & Silver Sessions!

The Black Keys – El Camino

The Black Keys – El Camino
Nonesuch – 2011
Rock, Blues, Garage, Soul
Rated: ****

We stamp, stomp and march further accompanied by new tunes from The Black Keys. On their seventh album El Camino we are treated to some more of their blues and rock outlines with that dusty retro feel. And between those lines they use a massive amount of colors to give it that dazzling rainbow look. We hear sounds from some old Mexican mariachi band, holy sounds from distant gospel and psychedelics from long lost hippies. All mashed together with that distinctive Black Keys soul. This one is made for the road; it has that definite highway and mountain trail feeling. You see the landscape blaze passed in a current of an impressive amount of different horizons. As if traveling in the back of al old van while looking through a trunk of everything rock music has ever had to offer and picking out exactly those ingredients needed at that exact moment in time… Fuck subtlety; we play what we need when we need it…
