The Black Keys: Where to Start


I am late to the party, I admit. I recently heard their cover of Junior Kimbrough's My Mind is Ramblin and really liked it. I would like to explore further and could use a suggestion on where to start with their original material.

I don't know if it's because it's where I started but I love the Rubber Factory album the best.
I just picked up Dan Auerbach's solo album on vinyl.... maybe I need to hear it a couple of times to get into it but there's only a couple of songs I really like so far.
So it goes.
Good luck!
Depends...The Big Come up and Rubber Factory are great but are recorded a bit rough. Thickfreakness pretty decent all a round. Attack and Release...decent. Chulahoma, a tribute to Junior Kimbrough, my favorite.
I happen to live in Akron, Ohio. My wife saw Pat Carney, the drummer, last Saturday at Starbucks on the corner of W. Market St. and Sand Run Rd. BTW my vote is for Rubber Factory.

That's cool. I am in Cleveland, but I haven't noticed that they have any gigs locally coming up. Do they ever appear "unscheduled" at any place in particular in Akron?
