Excerpt

Dan Auerbach's forthcoming solo debut album, Keep It Hid, is featured in the latest episode of NPR's All Songs Considered. The show's host, Bob Boilen, explains that, though it's been a while since he's been a fan of electric guitar–based blues, other than Led Zeppelin, "I may change my mind after hearing a new record by Dan Auerbach." Keep It Hid, says Boilen, has "a good variety of songs that are tinged by psychedelia, at times a bit of gospel, country, and blues."

Dan Auerbach's forthcoming solo debut album, Keep It Hid, is featured in the latest episode of NPR's All Songs Considered. The record, due out next week, is included among a handful of albums slated for release in the coming months previewed on the show.

All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen explains:

It's been a long time since I've been a fan of electric guitar–based blues music; I think my Led Zeppelin records are about the only thing I'll go back to with any regularity. I got pretty tired of the song form. But I may change my mind after hearing a new record by Dan Auerbach ... He has a solo record out that's tamer than The Black Keys but with a good variety of songs that are tinged by psychedelia, at times a bit of gospel, country, and blues.

Listen to the latest episode of All Songs Considered, including the song "Real Desire" from Keep It Hid, on npr.org.
