Product Details

Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney have been open about how Mississippi hill country blues shaped them from the start, long before the arena shows and Grammy stages. Junior Kimbrough's Fat Possum recordings and R.L. Burnside's raw, hypnotic groove were the foundation, and here they're finally honoring that lineage directly, with two of the musicians who actually played alongside those legends.

On May 14, The Black Keys release their tenth studio album, Delta Kream, via Nonesuch Records. The record celebrates the band’s roots, featuring eleven Mississippi hill country blues standards that they have loved since they were teenagers, before they were a band, including songs by R. L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough, among others. Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney recorded Delta Kream at Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville; they were joined by musicians Kenny Brown and Eric Deaton, long-time members of the bands of blues legends including R. L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough. The album takes its name from William Eggleston’s iconic Mississippi photograph that is on its cover.
