Dan Auerbach | “Keep It Hid”
Black Keys fans, take a deep breath: they’re still together, and Auerbach is just doing a little soul searching outside the scrappy blues rock duo he forged with drumer Pat Carney. The change of format here isn’t so severe that your heart would seize up anyway – the sound is still Auerbach, and it hit
s that spot. (People, sit down!) Keep it Hid is rather an enlargement of Auerbach’s aura, and the aura is beautiful, I tell you. The songs have quite a range, some being more folk, while others smack of more southern rock with hints of rockabilly. It’s a delight, for sure, a testament to guitar prowess and the soulful crooning we already love him for.
Be sure to catch his upcoming First Ave appearance on Saturday, March 7th. Doors open at 6pm!
