I was introduced to them in 2003 when they opened for Beck. I really can't say anything bad about them as a band-I think they are extremely consistent in putting out good/great songs, even when adapting their style.
"The Big Come Up" and "Thick freakness" are great straight forward blues albums, which might be up your alley if you didn't dig the newer stuff.

and i know what you mean, i didnt think dan auerbach was very good, but then i saw the blakroc webisodes, and he does all the instruments, piano, bass, guitar, vocals, even some percussion, its really good stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sah8...eature=related i think this is the video, wait till about a minute 30 in |

If you listen to them looking for technical excellence you won't find it. Just listen and feel the music. There music is some of the best out there right now.

After listening to several songs, I found that the music isn't much to listen to. Maybe I just seek a higher standard in music. Not trying to bash the band. The singer is good. A little too much recognition for their effort. -Luke

It doesn't get much more raw than Thickfreakness, which I believe they recorded in a single 14 hour session. I love those albums, but nothing since then has rocked my world. The disc of Junior Kimbrough covers is very good though, and Brothers is growing on me.
