Free Music Notes for Chulahoma
Free Music Review: Speechless..........
Hit: 5 Stars
I don't read or write reviews, but this is beyond music. I made the mistake of listening to this on my I-pod at work and the trance-like state it produced was detrimental to my daily corporate productivity. I closed my office door and pretended to be hard at work and listened to this album from start to finish continuously for 8 hours. I wept during "Meet me in the City" on the third and fourth listens and was emotionally spent and drained by the end of the day. This takes human pain and suffering and longing and even joy; things that are usually inutterable and inexpressible and puts them into music. Junior had something inside him and music was the only way he could get to it and bring out. Thank God for Junior and The Black Keys. Free Music Review: Pretty Good EP

I just recently started listening to The Black Keys and this was the third CD I picked up from them. It is a covers EP, so it's cool to see what influenced them coming up. Not a great CD but definitely worth buying if you are a fan. Free Music Review: chula homa

I am a fan of the Black Keys, I can't seem to move on to anything else. Everytime I try something else, I am back to the Keys before long. The Big Come Up grabbed me and sucked me in, no mediocre songs, a true 5 star album. I went through the other albums and though i have enjoyed them all Chulahoma is special. The newest album Attack & Release is supposed to be a new direction with Danger Mouse production influences throughout. That album is a new interesting direction, but good? More time will tell. It is for sure that the direction Chulahoma took was spot on. A groovey bluesy achingly immaculate tribute to an underground legend in Junior Kimbrough. Oh if only it had been a full album, alas six brilliant songs to make any blues lover gush.Free Music Review: Any friend of Junior's is a friend of mine

When I read the album notes for Chulahoma, I discovered that Dan Auerbach shared exactly the same revelatory astonishment I experienced when I first heard and saw Junior Kimbrough. I will never forget the first time I heard him, on Robert Mugge's amazing documentary, Deep Blues. At the time Mugge filmed him in 1990 there was no such thing as a Junior Kimbrough album, although Junior was already 60 at the time. I could not understand how this unique genius had been overlooked for so long. I had never heard the term before, but I started calling Juniour Kimbrough's music "Trance Blues." That's what it did to me: put me in a trance. That's what it did to Dan, and that's what this album will do to you if you let it. With Junior as his muse, it must have taken considerable courage for Dan to do this album, but the Black Keys pull it off. They take the completely original Kimbrough sound and feeling, and carry it forward musically into the present, adding to and modernizing the sound a bit, but carrying this brilliant musician's ideas forward. They do it with their own songs and god bless 'em they do it with Junior's stuff too. Thankfully, the Black Keys will not have to wait until they are 62 before they are discovered. They are on the way to huge popularity with their own songs, but if you really want to understand where they come from, listen to Chulahoma. And listen to Junior too, All Night Long.
