The Black Keys - Howlin' for you


Howlin’ for You is from The Black Keys, 8th album Brothers which was released on 2010. Although Howlin’ for You was released as a single in 2011. It reached No 116?? in the US chart, but made it to No3 and 5 on the Alternative and Rock charts.
Once again thanks to XFM for pointing me in the direction of another excellent band.

The Black Keys are an American rock band formed in Akron, Ohio in 2001. The group consists of Dan Auerbach (guitar, vocals) and Patrick Carney (drums). The group began as an independent act founded after the duo dropped out of college, and they eventually emerged among a second wave of popular garage rock revival artists from the 2000s. Through October 2011, The Black Keys had sold over 2 million albums in the United States.
Their debut album, The Big Come Up (2002), was recorded in Carney's basement and forged their raw blues rock sound. Over the next decade, The Black Keys built an underground fanbase through near-constant touring of small venues, frequent album releases, and extensive licensing of their songs. In 2006, the band signed with Nonesuch Records and began to receive bookings for large music festivals. The duo released Attack & Release in 2008, their first album produced by Danger Mouse, a frequent collaborator of the band. Their commercial breakthrough came in 2010 with Brothers, which along with its popular single "Tighten Up", won three Grammy Awards. Their 2011 follow-up El Camino has received the strongest reviews of the band's career and peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 chart.



This is the official video for the song. Its a great video, but there's too much talking over the song, but I thought I'd include it, just because the Battlestar Galactica babe's in it!!
