Critical reception
The album was listed at number 15 on Rolling Stone's list of the top 50 albums of 2012; the magazine wrote, "With production and corrugated guitar by Black Keys mastermind Dan Auerbach, the 72-year-old mixes rock, funk and even Afrobeat to describe a soggy wasteland where honest men have equal fear of the KKK and the CIA."[6]
At the 2013 Grammy Awards, Locked Down won the Grammy Award for Best Blues Album.[7]
