The Black Keys are paying homage to their blues roots with their 10th studio album Delta Kream a covers collection of Mississippi hill country blues standards, featuring songs by R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, and other artists who have deeply influenced the duo.
“We made this record to honor the Mississippi hill country blues tradition that influenced us starting out, guitarist/vocalist Dan Auerbach explained in a statement. These songs are still as important to us today as they were the first day Pat and I started playing together and picked up our instruments. It was a very inspiring session with Pat and me along with Kenny Brown and Eric Deaton in a circle, playing these songs. It felt so natural.”
