Dan Auerbach - “My Last Mistake”
If you love the Black Keys like I do, then listen up: the Keys’ lead singer Dan Auerbach has a solo release called Keep It Hid on the way. On a scale from thickfreakness to Attack & Release, I’d say the album feels more like Attack & Release. Although the album sports some high-energy, Black Keys-esque blues at times, most of the album finds Auerbach scratching other musical itches. “My Last Mistake” is the first single from the upcoming album (set for release Feb 10th on Nonesuch), and vocally it’s pure Auerbach but musically the song feels more classic-rock/country. Sure, it’s not exactly what I was expecting from Auerbach, but that’s far from a bad thing.
