The Black Keys / Dan Auerbach "Keep it Hid"
FORMAT | LP
Dan Auerbach, singer and guitarist in the Black Keys releases his extraordinary debut solo album - Keep it Hid. We've always known Dan to be a top-drawer bluesman and guitar virtuoso, but on Keep it Hid he reveals himself to be a songwriter of exceptional range and versatility - now extending his work to include psychedelia, soul music, gospel and country harmonies as well as the usual future blues-rock classics. Keep it Hid was produced and engineered by Auerbach at his studio, Akron analog, and features him playing a variety of instruments, including drums, guitar, percussion, and keyboards. Many of Dan's friends and family play on the album, including his uncle James Quine, who contributes vocal harmony and electric guitar on the Stooges esque swaggering track 'Street Walkin.' Other musicians include fellow ohioans Jessica Lea Mayfield, who sings on the Van Morrison inspired track 'When the Night Comes,' and Bob Cesare, who plays drums on 'Whispered Words,' a song originally written by Auerbach's father.
