  Article about Making The Black Keys' "Brothers" at Muscle Shoals with Mark Neil, Engineer | co-Producer
Tchad Blake - on Mixing the Album (he won 2 Grammys for it)
  “For me in this day and age, I don’t hear soul very much in music. I don’t mean the name for ‘soul’ music, old RnB and soul stuff, I just mean soul in music where you listen to it and it gets into your chromosomes and your guts groove. [Brothers] is something that gets you in a real physical level and this is why I wanted to be in the music business when I started – for this type of thing. It shouldn’t be torn apart, you put the record on and have a bloody good time. It makes you feel good. - Tchad Blake on the Black Keys.”
