Hanni El Khatib

By popular demand (not that I needed much arm twisting), here’s a bit more music I enjoy.

If you like The Black Keys, I highly recommend Hanni El Khatib. (His latest album, “Head in the Dirt,” was produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys.)

I heard HEK last year in concert in a small venue. He’s a pretty serious guy and an excellent guitar player. He seems to be lying low at the moment, presumably working on a new NSF grant proposal album.

 

One of my favorite songs, “Nobody Move”

 

A phenomenal cover of Louis Armstrong’s “You Rascal You”

 

Probably the best known one, “Family”

 

“Penny” wins the award for the least likely (yet phenomenal) pairing of song and video
