It's times like these, that I need relief

Just recently began listening to The Black Keys. I first heard about them a little late-on the soundtrack of School Of Rock with their song "Set Me Free," at that point I underestimated them a little bit. They arose again on another blog I read-the one put out by my radio station WAMH on the song called "Next Girl" which really showed off their blues influences and vocalist Dan Auerbach's really tight sound.


The song I want to show off now though was just sent to me from a friend called "Tighten Up" which once again showcases this incredibly rich sound that they have going for them. The song starts off with a little whistling hook that really sets the pace for the song. From there it just rolls and sounds pretty amazing-and bluesy which it seems they are known for. Once again, it is my last week of school so I'm a little short on time so I will cut to the chase. The bottom line: this song is great, and so is the band. Also I would note that this song as well as "Next Girl" is off of their litterally brand spankin' new album Brothers which I will now inevitably buy.
