iTunes Single of the Week Review: ‘Run Right Back’ by The Black Keys

“Run Right Back” features a sexy slide guitar that will hook your tongue to the line. Dan Auerbach sings of a vixen, a vice he could never let go off: the ageless rock-n-roll motif. The syncopated beats from Patrick Carney’s drums layered with grunge guitar riffs brings back a sample of The Black Keys’ blend of blues that fans have long enjoyed.

More importantly this single is a gem of a rock song that will feed your insatiable hunger to rock. Doesn’t matter where you are, this song will mute your world, put you under a spell: take you right out of your skin then shake and sweat you out like nothing before.

After their Grammy-winning album “Brothers” the Akron duo has seen “El Camino” succeed like nothing before. When the North American tour was announced their scheduled concert at Madison Square Garden sold out in fifteen minutes. In the first week alone the album sold over 206,000 copies then went on to debut number two on the Billboard 200. Even with the late release “El Camino” has been listed on both Time and Rolling Stone magazines as one of the best albums of 2011.

Right now you can pick up the “Rung Right Back” for free by visiting your local Starbucks to pick up the complementary iTunes download card, while supplies last.

Whether you’re a long timer or just a brand new fan of The Black Keys this song is worthy of your collection.
