Fat Possum

Fat Possum Records is a label that was established in 1991 with the sole purpose of recording R.L. Burnside. Over time, it evolved into a mission to discover and record the last remaining original bluesmen before they passed away. Despite facing various challenges such as difficult personalities, limited songs, and a raw sound that didn't fit the mainstream blues market, these artists possessed immense talent and truly lived the blues.

In recent years, Fat Possum has expanded its catalog to include newer indie blues rock bands alongside their traditional offerings.

The Black Keys are an American blues rock duo that was founded in 2001 in Akron, Ohio. Comprised of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, the band has gained a loyal following with their raw and gritty sound. Influenced by classic blues artists such as Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside, The Black Keys have crafted their own unique style that blends elements of garage rock, soul, and psychedelic music. With their powerful guitar riffs and infectious melodies, they have become one of the most successful rock bands of the 21st century.
Since their formation, The Black Keys have released numerous critically acclaimed albums including "Brothers," "El Camino," and "Turn Blue." Their music has garnered widespread praise for its authenticity and emotional depth. Known for their energetic live performances, the duo has toured extensively around the world, captivating audiences with their electrifying stage presence.
With multiple Grammy Awards under their belt, The Black Keys continue to push boundaries and evolve as artists. Their latest album "Let's Rock" showcases a return to their roots while still exploring new sonic territories. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering them for the first time, The Black Keys' music is sure to leave a lasting impression.

The Black Keys’ second album is a continuous, energised ramble through a stripped down delta-blues. Simultaneous guitar and vocal melodies draw out Dan Auerbach’s perfect bluesman growl, and Patrick Carney’s shuffling rhythms.
