The Black Keys ~ Leavin' Trunk ~ Traditional

[TheDrunkazz]

Good but still like Taj Mahal's the best...

[MexicanoINC]

I'm a hopeful guitarist who is just broke as fuck. I am pretty good at what I do but I only have enough cash for cheap ass equipment. I own a Squier instead of a more exspensive strat and I can't even afford an amp. I'll be honest and that I get a little pissed when I see professionally trained kids with exspensive equipment who still create crap that doesn't stand out. It just comforts me that these guys recorded bad ass material on the crap equipment they could afford and won still grammies.

[InfamousM3dia]

@MexicanoINC Agreed, it's not about the tools you have, it's how you use them. Good luck.

Hey, Biggie.....listen to Taj Mahal's version on the Rock and Roll Circus. This shit is pre-school compared.

[crossharpo69]

Bland Cover of Keef Hartley Band version from 69. Sometimes its best to leave well alone. Check out Keef Hartleys version.

[ScissorsBentley]

excellent video of pictures of the black keys interspersed with pictures of trunks. sean agrees.

[BluesWhore]

Useage of the Zeppelin is absolutely off limits. 

[jf53452]

what the fuck is this? I love black keys. Why would they put this disgraceful cover of a Johnny Jenkins (originally leadbelly) song out?.... that was horrible

[thovex]

Sounds like an eighth grade band.

[BigCM06]

if you put on headphones, close your eyes, open your mind, and turn this shit all the way up then you will be delivered to a place deep inside your mind that is both wonderfully familiar and fantastically out of control. a place and that could otherwise never be reached through no amount of mediation or drugs.

it takes real passion and real soul to pull off a song like this. if you listen, you can hear all the beauty in the world pouring out through those notes.

[Rexworthy]

@BigCM06 And you think drugs wern't involved in the proess of this song... lolz thats funny.

[antixcraze]

This sounds really cool :)

[HeyyyGuyyy]

this songs a cover, The Wilkinson Tricycle - Leavin Trunk

[MrMelodynelson]

I mISS THE GOOD BASS MELODY

[missyramone42303]

Aww YEAH! (breath leaves body)................

[Eltieth]

I can hear a bass, who plays?

[SuperGamer87]

@Eltieth Dan plays bass, too.

[sourvoisier]

@Eltieth just 2 dudes...im pretty sure he jut plays bass notes with his guitar...saw them live back in 03 and was just the 2 of them...

[sephardimm]

I hate it, when newcomerbands ruining great tracks from the late 60s. FAIL

[WeakerWeapons]

@sephardimm ruin a song? its more or less a tribute, and even you should be happy that this "newcomerband" (which isn't all that new by the way) is reverting back to a time when music was actually good. These guys know what music is. This band is undoubtedly the best band of this generation.

[sixty7ford]

The Black Keys rocked the House of Blues in Orlando this past Monday night... if you ever get a chance to see them live they put on a great show. they played music from all their albums and I was awestruck that just a two man band could deliver such powerful sound! the band was explosive and both raw and tight at the same time. the crowd bordered on raucous near the end of the show.

[jcacka18]

@sixty7ford yes the black keys are great, but lets not also forget about the original 2 man band, white stripes!! And... perhaps we can forget other 2 man bands such as lmfso and 30!0 or whatever the hell they call themselves.

[Houdini116]

Isn't this a cover of the Keef Heartley Band's - Leavin Trunk?

[sixty7ford]

@Houdini116 Keef Hartley credits Estes on the 1969 Halfbreed LP

[harshtimey]

@Houdini116 Traditional, first recording attributed to Estes, most famous version is probably by Taj Mahal off his self titled album.

[Shaakhal]

@Houdini116 Sleepy John Estes !!

[ticerul]

This is freaking ..seems to be a beat of Cream.of Hendrix,of blues mojo a beat of Zep and Purple ..mixed and served !Cool!!!!Love it!!!!

[vt92psyc]

Gonna be jamming the Taj Mahal version of this with my boys tonight... One of my favorite songs covered by one of my favorite bands... Very nice...

[RJhasFLOW]

Put's some hair on your chest.

[RJhasFLOW]
