Product Description

CD Description

This seven-track EP is the Akron, Ohio, blues-rock duo's swan song for esteemed blues label Fat Possum, and, fittingly,it's comprised entirely of songs originally written and performed by the legendary Junior Kimbrough, one of the label'smost important discoveries. Kimbrough's hill-country blues had and enormous impact on the Keys, and they treat songs like "Meet Me in the City" and "Keep Your Hands off Her" with the reverence they deserve, while at the same time adding their own sonic embellishments to Kimbrough's songs as a reminder that the blues is far from a stagnant form. "Have Mercy on Me", for example, becomes a dirgy, swampy psych-blues epic as a haunting organ line and Dan Auerbach's fractured guitar licks lead the listener down a wonderfully dark musical back road. This brief, loving tip of the cap is a fitting reminder that as the form's finest practitioners continue to pass away, the blues itself is still kicking hard.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gem, 23 Nov 2007
By G. Kimpton (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have listened to The Black Keys for years and, although thickfreakness was great, I believe they still havent managed to re-create the magic of The Big Come Up. With Chulahoma all of the intimacy and warmth of that record is restored. Its obvious Dan is a huge Kimbrough fan; the songs are lovingly performed at a leisurely pace that works really well. I liked Magic Potion, but I probably now listen to this Ep more than any of the other albums. That could be worrying since the songs are not theirs, but the execution of them is pure Black Keys. Enough of the Jack and Dan comparisons, they are worlds apart and as good as each other.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just when you thought they'd lost it........., 4 May 2006
By Mr. E. Shiress - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
OK I will be honest, I found Rubber Factory fairly average and was disappointed in their new DVD, for me Thickfreakness was their last golden moment. So I ordered this with not much optimism but intrigued to hear them covering Junior Kimbrough (who I am not familiar with), and............

IT'S ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!! It has a very unique chilled vibe to it while still having that g'ole Black Keys sound. Tempo is fairly slow on all the tracks while theres lots of long windy guitar instrumentals, it just makes beautiful summer music,, and it's a wonderful coincedence that the weather has been so good on its week of release.

BUY IT!

And, finally, I am extremely anti the whole 'Keys VS Stripes' thing, Dan and Jack are the most different blues based guitarists you can get, Jack's white-hot at rootsy stuff while Dan's much more inventive. BUT, now the Stripes have gone very wrong in their 'new direction' (and then split!) i can safely say in 2006 the Keys win!

Right, now I'm off to check out some JK stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing EP Buy it Now, 1 Oct 2008
By Mr. Craig Smith "nifmasterjay" (Hamilton, UK) - See all my reviews

I agree totally with the previous reviews. A straight blues cover EP, that has so atmospheric, emotional and quite simply beautiful. It's the best £6 you'll ever spend. My favorite keys album, along with Thickfreakness.
