Waiting on a Song

Nine-time GRAMMYâ€“winner Dan Auerbach willrelease Waiting On A Song,his second solo album, on June 2 via his new label, Easy Eye Sound. The album is Auerbachâ€™s much anticipated follow-up to 2009â€™s Keep It Hid and is a love letter to Nashville. As such, he recruited some of Nashvilleâ€™s most respected players to write and record his latest, including John Prine, Duane Eddy, Jerry Douglas, Pat McLaughlin and Bobby Wood and Gene Chrisman of the Memphis Boys. Auerbach said about working with his musical heroes: â€œLiving in Nashville has definitely changed the way I think about music and the way that I record it. I didnâ€™t have all of these resources before. I am working with some of thegreatest musicians that ever lived.â€

Dan Auerbach moved to Nashville from his native Akron, Ohio in 2010 and with this release, his first solo album in eight years, it is clear that he has made Music City his home. During the summer of 2016, taking a break from the non-stop touring heâ€™d donewith The Black Keys and the Arcs, he finally got acquainted with the city he loves so much, as well as the world-class musicians who live there, and subsequently collaborated with some of Nashvilleâ€™s heavyweights. Of the process he reveals, â€œTheyâ€™d come over, and weâ€™d be in a little room in my house with the door closed, and weâ€™d just write. Monday through Wednesday weâ€™d write, and then Thursday through Sunday weâ€™d record, every week.â€ Auerbach wrote seven songs withJohn Prine, one of which is the title track of the album. Mark Knopflerâ€™s immediately identifiable guitar elevates â€œShine on Meâ€ into an anthem. Iconic guitarist Duane Eddy is featured onâ€œLivinâ€™in Sinâ€ and the cinematic â€œKing of a One Horse Town.â€

Waiting On A Song is the debut release, and marks thelaunch of Easy Eye Sound, Dan Auerbachâ€™s new record label which will feature soon-to-be-announced releases from other artists and is distributed by Auerbach's longtime label Nonesuch Records. The new label is built equally around Auerbachâ€™s Easy Eye Studio in Nashville, where The Black Keys recorded their last two albums, as well as the collection of famous session musicians that have come to call the studio home. Auerbach says, â€œSometimes I feel Icreated my own Field of Dreams. I built the studio because I knewsomething was going to happen. I built it to accommodate live musicians playing, and then all ofa sudden the best musicians in Nashville show up, and itâ€™s happening.â€
