EASY EYE SOUND is the roots and blues record label owned by the Black Keys’ front man Dan Auerbach.
This set by country music legend Hank Williams’s only son, Hank Jnr (as his blues alter ego Thunderhead Hawkins) features a dozen tracks of stripped back, percussive Mississippi Hill Country juke joint blues — as played by RL Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, Mississippi Fred McDowell and Jesse Mae Hemphill in the 1960s and 1970s.
