Federazione Industria Musicale Italiana . Retrieved June 10, 2017. While Waiting on a Song is casual in execution, it’s extremely intricate in construction, with each disco-string sweep, brass-section stab, and razor-sharp acoustic strum deployed with push-button precision. At times, the album feels less like a traditional singer/songwriter affair than a business card for Auerbach’s studio. Alas, Waiting on a Song also betrays the limitations of its song-factory set-up, in that the consummate craftsmanship renders the lyrics a secondary, impersonal concern. Hermes, Will (June 2, 2017).

Here’s the brand-new LinkedIn commercial that’s titled ‘Let’s Step Forward, Together’ and features the tagline ‘In It Together’. Auerbach actually recorded "When The Night Comes" at Mark Neill's studio in California, along with an instrumental bridge, "Because I Should." The two talked about "needing to create little pieces to tie the songs together," Auerbach says, "to create a mix-tape flow." But aside from that interlude, Keep It Hid had its own natural momentum in the emotional gear shifts of Auerbach's writing and the way his regular listening to the records he loved – in some cases, had just discovered – charged the music he made. Keep It Hid opens with the sound of heritage and family: Auerbach singing "Trouble Weighs A Ton" alone, with an acoustic guitar, until his uncle, James Quine, chimes in at the chorus, harmonizing with Dan in the bluegrass-and-bloodline tradition of The Stanley Brothers. I first interviewed Dan in Philadelphia a few weeks ago while we were at Philly station WXPN for NON COMM-vention, a public radio conference. After that 45-minute conversation I discovered — as is every interviewer's worst nightmare — that the resulting sound file was only 12 minutes long. I was sad we lost that interview, but determined to do it again. As it turned out I was flying to Nashville the following week, so we wound up meeting at Easy Eye for a conversation that took place in the middle of the studio. His engineer set us up with a mixer and two microphones, in the very same room where Waiting On A Song was born. We had this free-flowing conversation, that included playing the music that inspired him to make Waiting On A Song and to create his own record label, which shares a name with his studio.

I mean, there are just so many musicians everywhere — and some of the greatest musicians, that made some of my favorite records of all time. I mean that's it. That's why I came here. In fact, many of those musicians are on [my] new record [ Waiting On A Song]. Duane Eddy [is one of them]. I met him a few years ago, through a mutual friend of ours. We went out and had lunch, but I really got to know Duane when he first came to the studio, because he walked in and his eyes lit up. I could just tell that he loved being in a studio. So he was one of us, you know? Stuart Berman (June 1, 2017). "Dan Auerbach: Waiting on a Song Album Review". Pitchfork . Retrieved June 3, 2017.It was just a phrase in a song," Auerbach insists. "If I'd found a record by somebody called Keep It Hid, with that cover" – an odd-angle closeup of Auerbach playing an exotically sculpted mid-Sixties Japanese-budget-brand guitar – "I would have bought it," he adds, laughing.
