The Dan Auerbach Thread (blues, rock, album, member, solo)

Dan Auerbach's first solo release Keep It Hid dropped in stores today, 2/10/2009.

What do you think?

I gave it a blitz on my way home from Best Buy (made it through basically a verse and chorus of each song), and I'm about to give it a few full spins. So far, I love it!!

It's a lot different than The Black Keys, but that was to be expected. You can't buy this album looking for the same sound, that's why it's a solo project, it's stuff that Dan didn't feel meshed with the Keys' sound. Anyway, it has a vast array of tracks-- and so far it hasn't disappointed!

Check it out, and leave your thoughts!

Frontman in two-piece blues-rock group (whose only other member is the percussionist) decides to start a blues-rock solo act.

He obviously needed more creative control.
