Black Keys: The Real Deal

I saw the Black Keys Sunday night in Grand Rapids Michigan. 9000 people showed up in all age ranges. The Black Keys are an Anthropologic Blues Based Rock Band. I say that because just like where Blues is based, you can hear the past. However you can also hear the present angst of Akron as the promise of the future of music. This makes for the Anthropology of a music that is growing from the past and headed to the future. Sprinkled out most of their works are all three times represented…

We have some good blues journalists that promote blues quite well.

"Chicago is the BEST place in the USA for Blues"

Well it looks like you live in a right place :), I envy you :)!

In other pop stars feeling a greater need to play 'dress-up' perhaps. However, tell that to, say, The Allman Bros. or Little Feat.

I have subsisted on old videos for so long it has become habit. Let me know what you find out. Charlie
