About The Black Keys
The Black Keys began in Akron, Ohio, in 2001, with singer and guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney recording raw, distorted blues in Carney's basement. Early records such as The Big Come Up and Thickfreakness drew heavily on Delta and hill country blues.
Working with producer Danger Mouse on Attack & Release moved them toward a fuller studio sound. Brothers (2010), partly recorded at Muscle Shoals, and El Camino (2011) brought arena-sized success. Delta Kream (2021) returned to their roots with covers of Mississippi hill country songs. Auerbach also runs the Easy Eye Sound studio and label in Nashville.
