2011 release from the Alt-Rock singer/songwriter best known for her duet with The Black Keys on their "Things Ain't Like They  Used To Be," Tell Me is a  stunningly forthright 11-song set that addresses late-night longing, serial  heartbreak, and intoxicatingly dangerous liaisons conducted in dimly lit  barrooms or roadside motels. By the end, the only heart intact is  Mayfield's own. It's as if she'd stripped the sentimentality and ruefulness  from a bunch of classic Country songs, leaving only stark emotion.  The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, who produced and engineered Tell Me at his Easy Eye Sound  System studio in Akron, Ohio, matches Mayfield's candor with eerily  minimal, brilliantly constructed tracks that keep her mesmerizing,  unadorned voice front and centre.
