A soulful, more subdued effort from the singer/guitar player of The Black Keys. Does not disappoint! - Heather L (Hollywood)
On his solo debut of 14 original tunes, Black Keys singer and guitarist Dan Auerbach combines elements of bluegrass, mournful country balladry, Memphis-style R&B, fuzzed-out psychedelic rock, and low-down blues.
