Anything by the Black Keys, for example:

P.S. (I don’t know what their politics are, though.)
Blech!
“Howlin’ For You” pretty damm good though. Been hoping they won’t be a one hit wonder but sadly nothing better yet.
Check out the 4-song EP Eric Burdon put out with the Greenhornes last year. Unfortunately his newest album (''Til Your River Runs Dry', dropping next week) is completely different and a bit more predictable.
Also, check out some of Nathaniel Mayer's final albums (where, as with Eric, he's backed by some more modern garage rock musicians of the past 20 years).
And a bit more (early Little Richard) rock and roll from recent years are JD McPhearson:

and
the late Nick Curran (who's better than McPhearson but died last year after a several year bout with cancer)
