The Black Keys The Big Come Up - Vinyl Vinyl LP (New) Condition: New

095081004412

NEW, FACTORY SEALED! This is the Limited Edition version in Clear Vinyl and Reversed Cover Image!"Their amazing debut album. "Where the White Stripes reminded everyone that alt rock could still contain graceful ''60s hooks and prettiness, the Black Keys, with their heroic cover of ''She Said, She Said,'' drag the Beatles back to the Cavern." - Spin"While Dan Auerbach''s overdriven ax is powered by the same internal-combustion engine that drove blues legends Junior Kimbrough and Fred McDowell, this is no po-faced retro show. There''s Wu-Tang Clan-schooled funk in drummer Patrick Carney''s fatback beats, and on the cranked-up ''Countdown,'' Auerbach suppresses a sob with the droll closing couplet, "You stole my heart and damn near drove me mad/I gotta get back home to my mom and dad." - Rolling Stone"As minimal two-man blues-rock bands go, this has to be near the top of the heap. The Black Keys'' sound, impressively, is not too thin (though it is garage-ish), and there''s enough deft incorporation of funk, soul, and hard rock into the harsh juke joint-ish core to avoid monotony. Most importantly, Dan Auerbach has a genuinely fine, powerful blues voice, sometimes approximating a white, slightly smoother Howlin'' Wolf (particularly on the opener, "Busted"). Auerbach''s a good guitarist, too, conjuring suitably harsh and busy (and sometimes heavily reverbed) riffs out of what sounds like a cheap but effectively harsh amp. Patrick Carney''s drums might be the cruder component of this two-man band, but they keep the sound earthy without sounding sloppily punkish for the hell of it, as too many such groups searching for the blues-punk fusion do." - Richie Unterberger & allmusic.com Busted Do the Rump I''ll Be Your Man Countdown The Breaks Run Me Down Leavin'' Trunk Heavy Soul She Said, She Said Them Eyes Yearnin'' Brooklyn Bound 240 Years Before Your Time Format Record Language English All DVD's and CD's Professionally Resurfaced before shipping!
