RiO!B Review: The Black Keys – El Camino

Saturday, December 3rd, 2011

On today's episode of the Rock it Out! Blog, I review the new album from The Black Keys called El Camino.
This album is nothing like their previous effort, Brothers. Where Brothers fused blues-rock with an R&B vibe, El Camino focuses more on a 70's garage rock sound while also making you dance. My favorite tracks are "Lonely Boy," "Little Black Submarines," "Run Right Back" and "Dead And Gone".
What are your thoughts on the album? Read More
