The new album is worth picking up it's one of the best album this year
I think they totally fit and their new album is easily one of the best things I've heard this year. I love it! Highly recommend it. Joe, I love the whole thing, don't delay, get it now!!
LOVE The Black Keys. Joe, absolutely get the new one. The packaging itself is worth the price of admission. Electric, Delta-influenced blues, by way of Akron; definitely Americana in my humble opinion. Really enjoy the overall sound and feel of all of their work, but especially the older stuff (though there's nothing wrong with the production help on the last 2 albums).

Great bluesy sound. Playing Dublin October 27th .... tickets on sale in ten minutes!
I wouldn't call it Americana, but the new album Brothers is rockin. Stripped-down, blues rock. My fave album of the summer. If you haven't heard it, check it out. It is really that good.
Don't know anything about their CD's but the one show I went I was totally hohum about them. This was a couple years ago at the Fox in Oakland. After the show I walked down to the Van Kleef (a bar often with live music), paid the $5 cover because there was a band that night and after listening to one song thought, "why this is about 20 times better than the show I just saw".
A few minutes later, one of the Black Keys walks in. I guess he wanted to hear some good music himself.
While many people in this community would not file the Black Keys under Americana, I think many would file it under "roots music". Gosh I detest labels, if you think its good and it's music please share it here!
I love the Black Keys...I'd call what they do roots music...I missed the chance to see them live here in Auckland a little while back. I sure won't miss them next time they're down this far south!
