Complete List of The Black Keys Songs From A to Z

The Black Keys, a powerhouse duo from Akron, Ohio, have built an extraordinary career by blending bluesy grit with modern rock energy. Formed in 2001 by guitarist and vocalist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney, the band quickly gained attention for their raw, minimalist sound. They recorded their debut album, The Big Come Up (2002), in Carney’s basement, marking the beginning of a journey from underground darlings to arena-filling rock stars. Their unvarnished approach to blues-rock, inspired by artists like Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside, distinguished them in an era dominated by highly produced pop and rock.

Following their debut, the band released a string of albums that showcased their evolving artistry. Thickfreakness (2003) and Rubber Factory (2004) expanded their audience, with tracks like “10 A.M. Automatic” and “Set You Free” becoming fan favorites. By the time they released Attack & Release in 2008, produced by Danger Mouse, The Black Keys had refined their sound, incorporating more complex arrangements and textures while staying true to their roots. This collaboration marked a pivotal turning point, broadening their appeal and setting the stage for their breakthrough.

The duo achieved massive success with their sixth studio album, Brothers (2010), which featured the smash hit “Tighten Up.” This album, also produced by Danger Mouse, earned critical and commercial acclaim, winning three Grammy Awards, including Best Alternative Music Album. The follow-up album, El Camino (2011), propelled them further into mainstream stardom. Tracks like “Lonely Boy” and “Gold on the Ceiling” showcased their ability to craft infectious hooks while maintaining their gritty edge. El Camino received five Grammy nominations, solidifying The Black Keys as one of the leading rock bands of the decade.

Their eighth studio album, Turn Blue (2014), displayed a more introspective and atmospheric side, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. After a five-year hiatus, during which Auerbach and Carney pursued solo projects, the band returned with Let’s Rock (2019), an unapologetic celebration of guitar-driven rock. Their most recent release, Dropout Boogie (2022), continued their tradition of paying homage to blues and rock pioneers while pushing their sound forward.

In addition to their studio success, The Black Keys have left an indelible mark on live music. Known for their electrifying performances, the duo expanded their touring lineup to include additional musicians, enhancing the depth and dynamism of their shows. They’ve headlined major festivals, including Coachella and Lollapalooza, and have toured extensively worldwide, earning a reputation as one of the most exciting live acts in contemporary rock.

Over the years, The Black Keys have garnered numerous accolades, including six Grammy Awards and multiple nominations, reflecting their critical and commercial impact. Beyond music, both Auerbach and Carney have contributed to the industry in significant ways. Auerbach founded Easy Eye Sound, a record label and studio that has supported emerging and established artists, while Carney has produced albums for artists like Michelle Branch and Calvin Johnson. Their commitment to fostering talent and celebrating musical heritage underscores their broader influence on the industry.
