Free Music Notes for Thickfreakness
Free Music Review: HOW COME I NEVER HEARD OF THESE GUYS TIL NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is without question the best CD I have bought in years!!! I have had it for 48 hours and have listened to it over a dozen times and turned at least 6 other people into fans!!Buy this CD and try to play it only once. These songs will stay with you for hours after listening, that is if you can go hours without cranking it back up. If you like any form of the Blues this is a MUST have CD. I will sum it up with Raw, Nasty ,Grimy and powerful a 2 man band should not make this much sound!!!! Buy IT Now!!!Free Music Review: no sophomore slump
Hit: 5 Stars
The Black Keys sophomore effort doesn't disappoint folks that enjoyed their debut album "The Big Come Up." More straight up blues-rock from the Akron duo. Their second album includes the song "Set You Free" which appears in the movie "School of Rock" & in the new Nissan Xterra commerical. Lots of great sound from just two musicians...'nuff said.Free Music Review: Two guys and a whole lot of sound!
Hit: 4 Stars
This is another cd I picked up on a lark and wowee. The amount of sound these two guys can generate is astounding. It is truly Thickfreakness! I am utterly amazed by the analog, fuzzy sound...it feels like a time-warp to some funky concert I would have gone to if I'd been born a decade earlier. Some of the tunes on this release are so much fun to listen to they should be regulated. I almost burned out the speakers in my car!Free Music Review: Beats all the other new blues artists.
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an incredible album by the Akron, Ohio blues duo, The Black Keys. When I say blues, I don't mean Stevie Ray Vaughn or Robert Clay or any of these new artists who try to modernize blues. I mean, old blues. Like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and the legendary Robert Johnson. These guys emulate from the masters and make it their own sound. They also have an early Led Zeppelin sound with them, such as the case with the title track. Dan Auerbach's voice sounds like it came straight out of Louisana, and it definetly shows on all of the tracks. Patrick Carney's drumming is very good and at times, reminds me of the beats of DJ Shadow. There are some great songs here too. "Set You Free" has a awesome riff, and "Everywhere I Go" is a long blues jam done outside of the 12-bar blues format. Great stuff. Get it if you love blues or if you're a first timer.Free Music Review: What the White Stripes hope to be when they grow up
Hit: 4 Stars
When you've had enough of pop: This power duo plays straightforward, blues based rock and roll. Crunchy guitar riffs, soulful vocals over no nonsense drumming sounds like a lot more than two guys from Ohio. The recording is raw and rough edged, but contains surprising nuances and textures. On so many levels, it just works.
Every Stevie Ray Vaughn fan I've ever played this for was simply delighted.?
This is what the Strokes or White Stripes hope to be when they grow up.?
Bonus: I iffnd this to be great driving music (but watch the speedometer or you'll be in ticket city fast!).
