I Tend To Name Albums After One

I Don't Make My Living Making Records. Maybe Someday I Will.

Coming From A Smaller Place Always Made Things Feel More Personal, Which Is Really What It's All About.

I Am Nice To Everybody. But People Really Take Advantage Of It.

A Lot Of Musicians Are Super - Insecure And They Take Forever And They Obsess Over The Minutia And It's Really Stifling. It's Not That The Band The Black Keys Is That Confident, It's That We're Not Striving For Perfection. We Are Just Trying To Have Fun. None Of The Music That We Like Is Perfect. It's Good. And Real. We Just Want To Make Real Records, Flaws And All.

I Started Playing Bluegrass With My Family, So There Were The G, C And D Chords. I Was Playing A Martin Acoustic Because That's What Carter Stanley Of The Stanley Brothers Played. Then I Got Into The Really Raw Blues Of Hound Dog Taylor And Started On Electric Guitar.
