Ohio Players (Trophy Edition) - Deluxe Gold Colour Double Vinyl
Release Date: 15th November 2024
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 band’s 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 band’s singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach and DannyLux both singing in Spanish, a first on a Black Keys record. Other new tracks include “Stay In Your Grave” featuring Alice Cooper and “I’m With The Band” featuring 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 Billboard’s 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 Carney’s 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.
