The Soul of Dan Auerbach
A Haunting, Powerful New Sound: I can't really say enough good things or add too much you probably don't know about The Black Keys, but I'll try. The Akron, OH, duo have produced some of the most amazing blues-influenced modern rock I have ever heard. They made the RSL 20 Albums You Need to Own in 2008 List. And now the Keys' Dan Auerbach, a soulful premiere guitar blues man in his own right, has a stellar new project, Keep It Hid, in 2009. Auerbach is on tour, bringing his brand of rock and blues on the road. You Would Do Well to Catch this One!

HOW IT CAME TOGETHER: 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 Auerbach’s friends and family play on the album, including his uncle James Quine, who contributes vocal harmony and electric guitar on the track “Street Walkin.” Other musicians include fellow Ohioans Jessica Lea Mayfield, who sings on the track “When the Night Comes,” and Bob Cesare, who plays drums on “Whispered Words,” a song originally written by Auerbach’s father. The record was mixed by Auerbach’s friend Mark Neill at Neill’s Soil of the South studio.
