Daily noise that works faster than a stream of caffeine
19 May 2025
Although Ohio Players wasn’t a great selling LP, Ohio‘s robust blues tandem THE BLACK KEYS – singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney – released one of their best albums ever to my ears with it. I guess its more melodic approach, less raw and rough than their traditional retro blues puissance, even poppy at times, wasn’t what diehard fans wanted to hear.

And the duo didn’t take time for a lazy holiday in the sun. They just announced the
upcoming issuance of another longplayer, their 13th. It’s called No Rain No Flowers
and will see the day of light on August 8th.
First single is the title track that leans more
to Ohio Players than to their early work.
And I like it again.
Wake up people,
black keys hit you
with a flower.
