The Black Keys Fan Lounge Forum

This is one of the best covers they've done. If any of you are into true soul music (after Brothers you should be), Eli Paperboy Reed and the True Loves is a great band to check out. This song makes me want to call him Danny Paperboy Auerbach.

My guess would be many of the musicians on the board (especially guitar players) are having a problem with the albumn because a lot of this material would be difficult to pick up a guitar and start playing. I don't mean difficult in learning but difficult in the sense that its not a Thickfreakness or Magic Potion dominated guitar albumn. Riffs and songs in general on those albumns are fun to pick up and play and there isn't really much else needed. Theres a lot more going on on this albumn.

This is just a guess, purely a guess.

I play guitar, and it has no affect on what I think of this albumn. I was raised on soul music. I feel like a kid listening to this. Brilliant.

hey thelengths man i'm a guitar player and the guitar work on this album is by far my favourite of dan's ever!! i absolutely love the blues MP and TBCU rock but this is in a league of its own, the guitar back everthing!

the guitar is still understated as is everything really. Understated but at the front if you know what i mean?? the pinnacle of less is more really.

ten cent pistols guitar work is amazing and to me i like that the guitar is like this... it gives me another step to aim for!!

well at this rate japas i am expecting to see the tone of your posts start changing to loving the album

I defy anyone who looks at the title of this thread and doesn't think of Rick Astley.

haha, speaking of lyrics/jokes...

In Everlasting Light when Dan sings "I'll hold and never scold" it almost sounds like "I hold vanilla scones"

Just wanted to say that Never Give You Up is currently my favorite track on Brothers.

The 'Keys have always been great with covers. Especially Junior Kimbrough covers. But even Have Love Will Travel is fantastic and Act Nice & Gentle is amazing.

This new cover is even above and beyond the standard they've set.

There are many great things about this cover, and I hate to be all "ooh Dan is so dreamy" but his vocals are outstanding on this track. Especially love the way he sings the lyric "do you see these tears!?"
