Why El Camino?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:The album was named for the Chevrolet El Camino, a coupé utility car, after the duo saw it on tour and thought it would be a “cool” title. Despite the album title, the vehicle on the cover is not an El Camino but rather a Chrysler Town & Country van that the band toured in at the beginning of their career. “El camino” is Spanish for “the road” or “the path”. The band found out the phrase’s meaning after selecting it as an album title, and they joked about the record taking on deeper meaning afterwards. On October 9, 2011, the band placed an ad in the Akron Beacon Journal advertising the van as a “1994 El Camino” for sale with the description at the bottom reading: “Priced to sell – Grab the Keys and go! Contact Pat or Dan at (330) 510–1206” The phone number led callers to a recorded message of Carney describing the car and asking for the caller to leave a message. On October 10, 2011, the band posted a trailer on YouTube which spoofs a used car commercial. At the end of the trailer, a small blurb appears that reads the band’s name and the words “El Camino”, followed by the release date of December 6. The actor in the video is comedian and actor Bob Odenkirk. The band launched a website called WannaBuyAVan.com to support the video and the faux newspaper advertisement. Wiki(The_Black_Keys_album)
