The Black Keys are the subject of the latest film in the Rolling Stone Films series Mastering the Craft, titled "The Big Come Up." In the film, band mates Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney recount their early days, discussing how they first came together to make music in their hometown of Akron, Ohio, and later went on to form the band after a random recording session. The film, directed by Josh Swade for Rolling Stone, includes interviews with the band and their families along with their earliest demo recordings and footage from their very first concert and more.

"The thing that's unique about us is, it was our first-ever attempt at writing music," says Auerbach.

"Most things in this band are random accidents," says Carney. "We would have gone on never realizing that we could have ever been at the level we're at now. It wasn't even literally something that we could imagine."

    The original cast album of Adam Guettel’s Broadway musical Days of Wine and Roses, with a book by Craig Lucas, starring Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James, will be released on CD on May 17, following its recent digital release.  “Repeated listenings compound the amazement,” the New York Times says of Guettel’s work, which “has always offered that kind of challenge—initially leaving a feeling of: Beautiful, but wait, I need to hear it again—and those up for it have a way of coming away shining like Moses down from the Mount. The new score has the same effect.”
