Ths is my first hearing of Black Keys... I like what im hearing and appreciate them carrying on with the type and sound of the music I love... The Chulahoma album is very special, since it's all cover songs of Junior Kimbrough material. Hypnotic stuff. The Black Keys' own material ranges from great to meh... I've always been surprised they had as much success as they've had, it just seems kind of unlikely. I think he's a fantastic guitarist though, he just makes it all seem so easy.

At the beginning of the 2000s, the Black Keys, RL Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, Asie Payton, and one for two others, were all signed to Matthew Johnson's Oxford Mississippi label, Fat Possum. The label was doing some great stuff and had a really good business model.
At around the time I recorded Second Mind in 2002, my record label, Catfish, were working an exchange deal with FP, where some of their artists would become Catfish artists for Europe and I would be a Fat Possum artist in the US. I forget what happened now, but as is often the case in the music biz, the deal collapsed. We were all in touch because we were all on a similar page at the same time. I never foresaw the BKs becoming a mainstream act, but that's how it goes!

Hi Subtoxin. Why don't I like them? Partly just my tastes, but also because IMO there are better local acts than them. TT
