Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney - The Black Keys - sit in while Cerys takes a break with a selection of their favourite blues songs, including Little Barrie, Dr Ross, Cream, Danny Boy and more!

The Black Keys are an American rock duo formed in Akron, Ohio, in 2001. The duo began as an independent act, recording music in basements and self-producing their records, before they eventually emerged as one of the most popular garage rock artists during a second wave of the genre's revival in the 2000s. The band's raw blues rock sound draws heavily from Auerbach's blues influences, including Junior Kimbrough, RL Burnside, Howlin' Wolf, and Robert Johnson.
