Album Of The Day: Brothers by The Black Keys

Album Art of The Black Keys's Brothers album - With a rough-edged white border, there is a black background with text written on it. In white in the middle, it says, 'This is an album by' then the band's name in a bigger red print. Then it says, 'The name of the album is' and then the album title, 'Brothers', in a bigger white print. In the border on the edge in the top right corner, it says 'Stereo Sound'. And in the bottom corner, it has the 'Nonesuch Records' large 'n' logo in black inside a white rounded rectangle.

Released 15 years ago today, this is the sixth studio album by rock duo The Black Keys. Dan Auerbach sings and plays instruments, and Patrick Carney does drums and percussion. They are known for a very guitar-heavy blues rock style, and pretty often Auerbach's vocals are a high falsetto. Their songs like "Everlasting Light" and "Tighten Up" are fun jams and I love the sound of their drums, bass, guitars and keyboards for some reason. Maybe there's something very stripped-down to this two-person band, or maybe I just love bluesy rock, and this is one of the few modern artists in that genre that got mainstream enough that I heard their music. There's also something about albums like this one that were recorded in the small southern town of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, USA as well. I just love the vibe of this band and this album, though this type of midwestern garage rock may not be for everyone. Their last few albums haven't excited me as much, but this one of my favorite albums from The Black Keys.
