The Black Keys go back to the basics on this just released 2022 record - and thank goodness for it. After a brief detour off the beaten path in the form of a couple albums that didn't really do it for me, they're back to what they do best. Crunchy, fuzzed up and punchy garage rock with a hefty dose of blues. I'd even venture to say this is the closest they've gotten to some of their earlier output, for example the [previously covered](https://www.auditorymusings.net/rubber-factory-by-the-black-keys/) *Rubber Factory*.

The pickins' are not slim on this record, but if you need a place to start, I'd go with 'Good Love' (with guest soloist Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top). Then pick things up a bit with 'Burn The Damn Thing Down.' And while you're there at track 7, just go ahead and continue with track 8, 'Happiness,' and finish with the '[Midnight Rider](https://youtu.be/CoCaPJWqa28?ref=auditorymusings.net)' influenced 'Baby I'm Coming Home.'
