I checked out "Locked Down" yesterday, and must say I agree with Shakeydeal on this one. I can't really get into it. To me is sounds too much like The Black Keys. Even the vocals sound far removed from the distinct quality of Dr. John's voice, most likely due to the "distortion" Auerbach uses on his vocals, which he seemed to have done with this album as well. I'd take "Gris-Gris" and "Gumbo" any day over this one. The good news is the record was plated and pressed at Pallas in Germany so the vinyl quality should at least be good.
Dr.John
I have have the locked down vinyl since its release about a year ago. I absolutely love this record in every way ,production,feel,tone you name it. It was my favorite of 2012 by far.
After realizing it was Dan Auerbach from black keys who produced I was curious about his band the black keys. I love blues all kinds but I cannot seem to get behind the keys at all.
My love for Locked Down remains strong however. Go out and buy it now!!!
