oh yes, it very nice-uh.

Dan Auerbach's much anticipated(at least by me) new solo album entitled Keep It Hid will be released on February 10th. i mentioned this a month or two back when i first got word. if you click on over to his page on Nonesuch Records youll find that three of the new tracks have been posted. i think youll also find them rather enjoyable. as i suspected these three songs vary a bit from the Black Keys mold, but benefit from that. he remains soulful in all the new tracks, but heads folky on Trouble Weighs a Ton while remaining typically simplistic. its just Dan, Guitar, and an accompanying vocalist. on I Want Some More he has his Keys' wail back, but in a more psychodelic style with the addition of a keyboard. its still bluesy and definitely rock, but a bit outside the Keys' mold. The Prowl is the most Keys-esue of the preview tracks, and wouldnt be out of place on their most recent record. its a rather dark sounding tune, but has a unmistakable beat that will get your head nodding and foot tapping. i cant wait for the rest of this. or for the show in late in February here in the district.
