Auerbach, Dan
Waiting On A Song
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

2017 black vinyl in gatefold. In "Waiting On A Song," Dan Auerbach steps away from the raw, bluesy grit of The Black Keys and embraces a more polished, nostalgic sound that pays homage to the golden era of 1970s singer-songwriters. Drawing from the rich tapestry of American roots music, Auerbach crafts an album that feels both timeless and refreshingly contemporary. The record is imbued with a warm, analog charm, courtesy of a stellar cast of seasoned musicians, including contributions from legends like John Prine and Duane Eddy. The album’s title track sets the tone with its breezy, folk-inflected melodies, while songs like “King of a One Horse Town” showcase Auerbach’s knack for weaving introspective lyrics with evocative instrumentation. Rolling Stone’s David Fricke might describe the album as a masterclass in songwriting—effortlessly blending elements of soul, folk, and rock to create a lush sonic landscape that feels both familiar and new.
