Recently this site posted about songs covered by The Black Keys. For good measure I thought it would be good to document other Black Keys songs that are otherwise known as rarities, un-released tracks or b sides.
Some of these are also cover songs.
I’ve used uploaded versions of the songs to YouTube since they are accessible and fans can listen to them at least. Obviously the original tracks are in some cases rare or difficult to purchase legally, so I’m not interested in promoting illegal download versions. There’s only a couple of tracks listed here you can’t listen to.
For anyone interested in the full Black Keys discography check out Eil.com.

I’d have to say that’s probably my favourite cover song version by The Black Keys. What’s yours?
i’d have to say the stooges’ no fun. when they came to toronto, i wanted them to play that song so bad
I’ve been sayin this for years, but that pic of them in the basement would make the sickest poster of all time.
@Dan Too true. The roots of the band expressed.
