In Vitro

A nice long one this week highlighting a fantastic album: Brothers, released by the bluesy indie band The Black Keys earlier this year. Recently nominated for a Grammy, the album is a rich and eclectic homage to all sorts of genres and time periods. I've been addicted to it for a while, and couldn't resist the chance to mix up some of my favorite tracks with some completely different types of music. Listen and see if you can pick up the common threads.

Playlist

1- the black keys - tighten up

2- the white stripes - death letter (cover of the classic by son house)

3- the black keys - i'm not the one

4- tinariwen - chet boghassa

5- the black keys - too afraid to love you

6- greyboy - smokescreen

7- the black keys - never give you up

8- nina simone - i shall be released
