The Black Keys
Brothers

LA RECENSIONE

This is a recipe by the Black Keys. The name of this recipe is "Brothers".

Ingredients: a vintage turntable from the early seventies, a bowl full of blues, three heaping tablespoons of soul, two tablespoons of r'n'b, a pinch of funk, half a liter of rock'n'roll. First, carefully place the blues in a mixer, which must be raw and composed of two fundamental elements: Dan Auerbach's electric guitar and Patrick Carney's drums. Add the half liter of rock'n'roll to the blues, preferably aged and with an old-fashioned flavor, without any unnecessary modern additions. You will obtain a smooth and rich blend, which should sound like Everlasting Light and Next Girl. Now add a pinch of funk, preferably made by Danger Mouse. It will give the mixture a pleasant consistency to the ear. Compare the result obtained so far with Tighten Up: if you tap your foot in time, it means it's going well. Now mix the soul together energetically. You will end up with a wonderful sandy-colored cream, shiny and lump-free.

Take for example The Only One and Never Gonna Give You Up to verify that the soul is really well integrated into the rest of the mixture. If not, keep listening to the two tracks until you achieve the right consistency. Finally, carefully add the two tablespoons of r'n'b and stir with a spoon from bottom to top, trying not to deflate the cream too much. The result should resemble The Go Getter, or Too Afraid To Love You. Now bake the mixture obtained for about 55 minutes at high temperature. Five minutes before taking it out of the oven, add a ballad as a garnish to give it that sweet and soft flavor, like in These Days. Serve to foodie friends with a good white wine.

If anyone asks for seconds, don't hesitate, and offer "Brothers", this masterpiece by the Black Keys, until everyone has enjoyed and savored this wonderful record. Bon appétit!
