Album Notes & Community Reviews

Streamlining their blues-rock sound into tight, catchy anthems, The Black Keys produced their most commercially successful album with 'El Camino'. Driven by Dan Auerbach's fuzzy riffs and Danger Mouse's production, the songs are short, punchy, and designed for radio play. It is a fun, no-nonsense rock and roll party record.
