New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The
Black Keys' Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney were on CBS Saturday Morning to talk with Anthony
Mason about their twenty-year career and perform a Saturday Sessions set of two songs from their new album, Dropout
Boogie - "
Wild Child" and "It Ain't Over - and "Gold on the Ceiling," from their album El Camino, which turned ten last year.
The band kicks off its North American Dropout
Boogie tour in Las
Vegas tonight. This is the band's first string of shows since touring in support of their 2019 Nonesuch album "Let's Rock." Band of Horses will support on all dates; Ceramic Animal, Early James, and the Velveteers will open at select performances.
"Some of the stickiest alt-boogie of their career," Rolling Stone says of Dropout Boogie. "Still raw, fast and loose," adds the Associated Press. Classic Rock magazine exclaims: "Rock'n'roll in 2022 doesn't get any better than this." NME says: "A listen loaded with enough thrills and spills to soundtrack a wild ride down Route 66. This pair are masters in capturing that timeless flair and spirit. They're the embodiment of a band set for good times."
Dropout
Boogie features collaborations with Reigning Sound's Greg Cartwright, Billy F Gibbons (ZZ Top), and
Angelo Petraglia (Kings of Leon) and arrives one day before the twentieth anniversary of The
Black Keys' first LP, The Big Come Up. As they have done their entire career, Auerbach and Carney wrote all of the material in the studio, and the new album captures a number of first takes that hark back to the stripped-down blues rock of their early days making music together in Akron, Ohio, basements.
