Good loving is so hard to find
Everybody wanna waste your time
Waste your time, yours and mine
A good love is hard to find

Good loving is so hard to feel
You got nothing till you find the real deal
Find the real, there it is
A good love is hard to feel

Don't you rush it, gotta take it slow
You can't listen to the friends you know
'Cause they don't know what you know
But good love is hard to know

Bit of a stretch to say cover when this is featuring Billy G

Good to hear you, Bill! I still enjoy RP after more than 20yrs. Hope you and Rebecca are doing fine. 

Cheers from Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

BTW. Great band, groovy song


Ja toch!
Rotterdam and the Black Keys, two of the most beautiful things <3
Before seeing who was accompanying on this song, my head was hearing "TV dinnerssss..."

So it seems RP has taken off the stat showing how many times a song has been played in the last 30 days?  This band and album is seemingly played everyday.  




I noticed this as well. I hear Zach Bryan at least 4 times a day.

So fargin' groooovy. 
Blackeys
Ties in nicely with one of the worst shows I ever witnessed. When I saw the Top in the early eighties in Toledo, Billy coud not be bothered to pay solos on a few songs most notably "Heard It On The X". One third of the band missing was very disappointing. And Billy adds nothing to the blackeys.
I was noticing how much this song sounded like the ZZ Top song "TV DInners". Then I saw that Billy Gibbons joined the Black Keys. 'Nuff said!
Gosh, a Black Keys song that doesn't have me reaching for the PSD button.  Chugs along quite nicely.
This is some solid ZZ Top. Who the Fan Boys backin up Billy G?

Just noticed why. Billy Gibbons was the secret sauce.

I keep thinking this is new Gary Clarke Jr.
Great album.  Best of the year easily, to my ears.  In fact, the best album I've heard in long time...
TV dinners!
                         yes
Currently this is showing as played only in the main mix.  I'm surprised it isn't playing in the rock mix...  Good hearty riffs.

My fave kind of blues. And blues infused rock, my fave kind of rock.

What a brilliant collaboration! I have it at 9. 

The combination of Gibbons' deep blues experience and singular Texas blues-rock chops with Auerbach's Mississippi blues expertise works beautifully. I came across this from a review by Guitar.com that sums it up well: 

"Initially turning up to the studio just to hang out, Gibbons was presented with Auerbach’s Gibson Trini Lopez - formerly owned by legendary bluesman Mississippi Fred McDowell. Following a 45-minute jam session with this prized instrument, Good Love was birthed. Gibbons’ approach sounds markedly different to Dan’s in a number of ways. In lieu of Auerbach’s crackling fuzz and intentionally half-baked suggestions of melody, Gibbons’ slick scale runs, coruscating bends and slick flourishes are typically tasty." https://guitar.com/review/albu...
9 here too, thanks for the review link, LLRP!!

What a brilliant collaboration! 9-->10.

So much 2022 music popping up on the playlist. Thanks Bill and Rebecca for keeping RP fresh. 
ZZ Keys or Black Top - loving this!
Wow! The Black Keys are one of those bands who put out a boatload of mediocre ...stuff, and then they come up with something excellent like this.

This interview about Billy Gibbons joining The Black Keys is a good read.

"I knew he was in town so I sent him a text, very off-the-cuff. I said,
“If you’re free later, stop by, Pat and I are in the studio,” explains
the guitarist/vocalist. "He just showed up. He brought a bottle of red
wine, no guitars. I handed him a guitar he had never played, and an amp
he never played. He plugged it straight in, turned it all the way up,
and it sounded exactly like Billy Gibbons.
Hmmmm, hmmmm! Swampy...
Never heard you wax so lyrical about a song Bill. It just has to be standout. I bought the album without even hearing the whole track. Glenn from Reading UK

Good to hear you, Bill! I still enjoy RP after more than 20yrs. Hope you and Rebecca are doing fine.
