“Girl Is On My Mind” by The Black Keys
From the album Rubber Factory (2004)
“Girl Is On My Mind” by The Black Keys appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2004. It was first released in 2004 on the album Rubber Factory. Its best result is #30 on the John Peel's Festive Fifty of 2004. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #497 alternative song of 2004.
"Girl Is on My Mind" comes off Rubber Factory, the Black Keys' third album, released on Fat Possum in 2004, and Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney wrote it after playing the Sonics' "Shot Down" over and over. That November it went out as half of a double A-side with "'Till I Get My Way", and the pair reached 62 in the UK in December.
Carney produced, and the result is raw garage blues with no apologies. Critics have been kind to it since: Ultimate Classic Rock's Corey Irwin picked it as the best thing on Rubber Factory, heard Jimi Hendrix and the Doors in it and reckoned it could have come out 40 years earlier; Complex ranked it 11th among the band's songs; and the Grammy website admired its slow, sultry crawl, its demolition-grade drums and its fuzzy lo-fi hum.
