The Albums:

THICKFREAKNESS is the second album by The Black Keys, released in 2003. It is their debut release for the Fat Possum record label. Songs such as “Set You Free” won the pair some mainstream success as being featured in the soundtrack of the 2003 film School of Rock. Most of the album was recorded in 14 hours in Patrick Carney's basement on an early 1980s Tascam 388 8-track recorder. The liner notes claim this is Carney's “patented recording technique called 'medium fidelity'”. The result is an older sounding sound

RUBBER FACTORY is the third studio album by The Black Keys. It was produced by drummer Patrick Carney and was released in September 2004. The album was recorded in the group's hometown of Akron, Ohio in a dilapidated factory previously used by General Tire to manufacture rubber tires. The band rented the entire second floor of the building for $500 per month, dubbing their workspace “Sentient Sound.” General Tire closed the factory in 1982, though space in the building was still being leased out at the time of recording. Of the factory, Carney said it was “not really ideal in any way. It's too far away. It's on the second story. It's hot as hell. You can't open the windows.”

CHULAHOMA: THE SONGS OF JUNIOR KIMBROUGH is the second EP by The Black Keys. Essentially a tribute album, it is a collection of the band's cover versions of songs by Fat Possum Records bluesman Junior Kimbrough, who died in 1998. The title is a reference to Chulahoma, Mississippi, location of “Junior's Place,” a juke joint bought by Kimbrough around 1992 and operated after his death by his sons until it burned down on April 6, 2000.
