CRUSTER! Thanks for recommending The Black Keys. I checked them out and I'll definitely be buying some of that. Glad you enjoyed them. I can't remember how I first heard of them, but I wound up with two of their albums. Shortly after that a friend and I made the trek to Clebeland (yeah, I know, it's a 'v' not a 'b') to see them at the Agora. The show was very good and now I have everything they've put out. IIRC, one of the living blues legends made the comment that TBK were playing the 'real blues.' Something along those lines, anyway. It's not everyone's cup of tea, and it can get repetitive (four albums later), but I like it.
Something else to check out is:
Patrick Sweany Band
They were one of the openers at the Agora and absolutely rocked the blues. Very hard driving music played exceptionally well. I picked up (all) three of their CDs there, and listened to them on the way back...mostly acoustic folk and blues music, which was nothing like their live show. But, it is still good; IIRC, Patrick Sweany won some folk music award a while back. Their album "Henry Ford Bedroom" was more electric, maybe, now that I'm thinking about it. |

How bout if you just suck. |

Location: south east Michigan | This thread only goes to remind me just how little I just listen to music. I stay mostly in my Classic Rock Rut. Once in a great while I'll find a "modern" tune that catches my attention but that is mostly by luck rather than on purpose.
If I take time for just music, I'd rather play than listen.
But in the spirit of the thread I'll put in my 2 cents.
The Presidents of the United States album. It is much deeper than just the hit, "Peaches". |

Location: GA USA | Brad, you might like The Black Keys as well, then. They have a bluesy sound, and some of it is kind of roots music. Some of their stuff also sounds like Bad Company or Cream. |

| Arcoluz - The Renaud Garcia-Fons Trio.
A percussionist, a flamenco guitar player and the world's most fantastic double-bassist. Music so heavy it would sink a battleship, so beautiful you'd swear you could fly. |

My new favourite foriegn band is Mana .... then I goto wikipedia and find they've won Grammys that I've never heard of. (must have been at the pre-show dinner where they give out the obscure ones...) Bought the album 'Sueños Líquidos' (1997) for the cover and found the music moved me too. |
