We have been dropping a few posts about Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys over the past few weeks and here is this little video of Dan Auerbach and his uncle, James Quine, playing “Trouble Weighs a Ton,” the first track on Keep It Hid, in Dan’s Akron, OH studio.3rd emailer to ask for the CD gets it when we do... motorcityblog@earthlink.net
You can check out the video HERE or by clicking the image above.
It was Dan’s uncle, who taught him how to sing and play guitar. The first 2 songs that Uncle James taught him were “Peggy Day” (Dylan) & “Single Girl, Married Girl” (Carter Family tune – he learned the Stanley Brothers version.) It’s not an official video, just a little peek inside Dan’s studio, where he recently recorded Jessica Lea Mayfield’s record and the record for the band Hacienda, who will be Dan’s backing band on his upcoming tour.
