I thought I’d try and make a list of all the songs The Black Keys have covered. But more interestingly document those songs with a live or video version of these cover songs.

Some of the cover songs are The Black Keys best known tunes. I found a live/video version for all songs except one. I didn’t want to add a song in with someone putting a slideshow or their own video over the top, but the video for Bob Dylan’s The Wicked Messenger cover was the only one I could find and the girl dancing is simply hilarious.

There are some Chulahoma and rarities that I haven’t been able to track down, so the list is only a little bit incomplete.

In time, an interesting list might be Black Keys songs covered by other artists…

Here’s the list so far with the original artist noted:

The Wicked Messenger – Bob Dylan

Act Nice and Gentle – The Kinks

No Fun – Iggy Pop

I’m Glad – Captain Beefheart

Have Love Will Travel – Richard Berry/The Sonics

Everywhere I Go – Junior Kimbrough

Grown So Ugly – Robert Pete Williams

She Said, She Said – The Beatles

Do The Rump – Junior Kimbrough

Awesome double guitar action from Dan, hang in there for the video

Busted – RL Burnside
