Amazon Product description: GRAMMY Award-winning rock duo The Black Keys announce the nineteen-track Ohio Players (Trophy Edition), exclusively for Amazon, pressed on purple vinyl and featuring five 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. There is also an exclusive Amazon Music Original bonus track ‘Let Love Take Its Time’. This is the first time that Amazon Music has released an Amazon Music Original track digitally and on vinyl simultaneously. 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 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.
