Description
GRAMMY Award-winning rock duo The Black Keys announce the eighteen-track ‘Ohio Players’ (Trophy Edition), featuring four previously unreleased tracks. This deluxe edition of the bands twelfth studio album is a two LP set, in a gatefold jacket, with an alternate cover and new album sequencing. The set includes a new song, Mi Tormenta featuring the bands singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach and DannyLux both singing in Spanish, a first on a Black Keys record. Other special guests on the new Trophy Edition tracks, in addition to the many collaborations on the original Ohio Players songs, include Alice Cooper and Beck.
The Black Keys secured the #1 Current Rock Album and #1 Current Alternative Album in US sales upon the April 2024 release of ‘Ohio Players’. The album also soared to the #5 debut of the week on both Billboards Top Rock Albums Chart and Top Alternative Albums Chart and secured the #4 spot on Overall Current Album Sales. ‘Ohio Players’ earned The Black Keys their sixth consecutive top 20 album in the UK, and also made it into the top 20 in other international markets such as Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland, and more.
The album, which was inspired by band members Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carneys recent record hang parties, garnered praise from Rolling Stone, which stated, Whether they set their retro-rock wayback machine to Memphis in the Sixties, the Midwest in the Seventies, or Manchester, England, and L.A. in the Nineties, it all flows together like a beautifully paced DJ set, calling the album arguably the sharpest collection of songs the Keys have come up with. ‘Ohio Players’ marked an exciting departure from The Black Keys prior releases, as the album brings in new and fresh influences while also still containing the widely loved sound that the duo is most known for. With an emphasis on collaboration, the album features contributions from friends and colleagues, including Beck, Noel Gallagher, Dan The Automator Nakamura, Greg Kurstin, Juicy J, Lil Noid, and others.
