The Black Keys are going to be compared to the White Stripes since both are a two piece band. Only difference is The Black Keys have a real drummer and have deep blues roots. After listening to them I reignited my interest in playing blues riffs on my guitar. Playing Rockn’ Blues riffs are fun because its the heart and soul of a guitar in my opinion. Basics.

They would make one hell of a Friday night at any neighborhood corner bar. A little Stevie Ray Vaughn, a little Cream, mixed with a bit of AC/DC. A Band Like The Black Keys reminds you why women throw panties on stage. Its Pure sex in a performance. The whole Jimmy Page thing. I mean Page is butt ugly but made his guitar do all the talking when it came to charming the lady’s. Basically a band for any rockn’ blues fan. Lesser know as the original devils music.
