The Black Keys Display The "Right" Stuff

Some songs approach the ear with the persistence of the stray puppy that, no matter how many times you try to shoo it back to its panicked owner it always comes back for more. Such is the case with "Run Right Back", the latest single from The Black Keys' critically lauded project "El Camino". Dan Auerbach's guitar work here possesses that "Don't you want to know what's on my mind?" quality. What feeds its randy slyness is one combustible dame destined to explode before she hits the ground. A bibliophile she's not but blessed with the kind of curves that get men's tongues rolling out of their heads. Dan's voice is lust personified as he examines she who refuses to be tamed. Toss in the equally provocative drumming of Patrick Carney and the sinfully naughty result is a grimy rocker that could be best enjoyed while doing the 'ol bump and grind in the back of a flatbed truck.
