On May 14, The Black Keys release their tenth studio album, Delta Kream, via Nonesuch Records. The record celebrates the band’s roots, featuring eleven Mississippi hill country blues standards that they have loved since they were teenagers, before they were a band, including songs by R. L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough, among others. Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney recorded Delta Kream at Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville; they were joined by musicians Kenny Brown and Eric Deaton, long-time members of the bands of blues legends including R. L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough. The album takes its name from William Eggleston’s iconic Mississippi photograph that is on its cover.

 

much more my tempo. what i’ve wanted from them for years, pretty much ever since brothers

 

Can’t wait to hear it in a car commercial! (I haven’t listened to the song yet)

 

Like the new song so far, even though it’s covers I hope to like this more than their last album which wasn’t great.

 

I dig the new song.

 

new song's pretty solid, interested in the whole album for sure

 

Going Down South is another good one, this album is shaping up to be better than their all originals “Let’s Rock”

 

album's out there

 

How is it?

 

Listening now, it's.... fine? Haha, I dunno, feels very one-note the whole way through, easily fades into background music

 

It's hard to have any expectations for an album of covers like this, but I enjoyed it. I do dig the concept of playing your inspirations. Not everything has to have a purpose if that makes sense.

 

I really like this. I think the guitar solos are great and as a whole it’s pretty consistent.

 

I like it; good not great.

 

i still need to listen

 

I still jam out to this every now and then. Not car commercial Black Keys, that's for sure.

 

I listened once and felt like it was a bit of a chore to get through, not sure if I'll ever go back to it

 

New album May 13

 

i think the last one was the final straw for me

 

Cool, I'm pumped for it.

 

11 albums is bizarre. like six too many.

 

I like it.

 

"Wild Child" is kinda growing on me

 

new album leaked

edit: i guess just a day early
