The Black Keys: Delta Kream Review As to often happens, and has happened repeatedly, this album is not so much a homage to the North Mississippi hill country style of the Bentonia school of blues but rather a re-imaging and white washing of the music. Completely missing is the single, finger picked acoustic guitar with the occasional harp accompaniment that defined the Hill Country styleand gave it its soul. Instead electric guitar, used more in the Chicago style of single string leads and electric slide offer a Blues Album of no dicernable style but a more generic blues album similar to what was produced by early 60's British Blues bands such as The BluesBreakers and Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac. That is not to say the album is bad but rather that it is not what it is advertised to be. Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney offer a servicable Blues Rock album with Delta Kream, just not a Hill Country Blues album. The casual blues listener, Black Keys Fans and people looking for an entry point to the Blues will find this a most satisfying album, however if you are looking for a genuine hill country style blues album you would be better off looking elsewhere.
