Excerpt

Keep It Hid, Dan Auerbach's recently released solo debut, earns applause from the San Francicso Chronicle. The Black Keys' singer/guitarist "digs into some serious psychedelia and soulful blues on his solo debut," says the Chronicle. "Auerbach has made a deeply personal piece that goes into dusty corners never explored by the Keys in the band's fine five albums ... [He] is a master at creating surprising, shadowy textures with reverb and repeated riffs."

Keep It Hid, Dan Auerbach's recently released solo debut, earns applause from the San Francicso Chronicle in its album review. The Black Keys' singer/guitarist "digs into some serious psychedelia and soulful blues on his solo debut," says Chronicle critic Joel Selvin. "Auerbach has made a deeply personal piece that goes into dusty corners never explored by the Keys in the band's fine five albums."

Selvin cites the album's "brilliant" second track, "I Want Some More," for its "Hendrixesque wall of guitars" and concludes of Dan's overall creation: "Auerbach is a master at creating surprising, shadowy textures with reverb and repeated riffs."
