ACL Battles: Keys vs. Wine
So here’s what should be a very interesting battle: intense expiremental blues rock of The Black Keys vs. the intimate folk rock of Iron & Wine. Some people may not see the contradiction here with the bands having such starkley different sounds. I agree that the bands sound nothing alike but I’m finding this to be one of the huge conflicts of the festival. Both bands are playing at 7:30 on Saturday. Which stage will you be at? Recent singles from both bands are below to make this decision easier…. or harder?

Black Keys, hands down.
At an outdoor festival? It has to be the folk-rock of Iron and Wine! It’s like Woodstock, minus real hippies.
You can keep your hippie coffee shop music. I’ll be looking forward to getting my face melted off.
