Are there any Black Keys fans here?

I picked up their latest EP, Chulahoma, a collection of Junior Kimbrough covers on Monday. I figured I would be disappointed as I am one of Junior's biggest fans but this album does the two things that tribute albums must do. First, it captures the essence of the original artist and pays proper tribute. Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, it imitates the original material while allowing the covering artists to put their personal stamp on the material. This is a must buy CD if you like the North Mississippi blues. My only criticism of this release is that six songs left me wanting more.

BTW, this probably belongs in the music forum but I don't go to the sub-forums so hopefully the moderators will take mercy on me.
