doesnt follow directions

i just heard that Dan Auerbach is releasing a solo album called "keep it hid." being a fan of his well known work in the Black Keys, he has gone into his studio to make his first solo record. i imagine that this effort will be more wide reaching than the Keys' primarily blues rock style.

if you look back to my previous post on the Black Keys you will see that i was really impressed by the guy. he seems to have been born for making music. i hope he follows through on this threat: "This record is a mixture of things I like to listen to, psychedelia, soul music, country harmonies." it may sound odd, but i think its really going to be something. ill keep you all posted on this as the story develops. the record is supposed to drop February 10th, but you can bet ill be working the back channels for a preview... or pre-listen.

oh, and he's going to be touring with Hacienda, who i was turned on to by MOKB. check the link. the tour starts up in DC(me first) at the end of February. dont miss this one.
