Waiting on a Song by Dan Auerbach
Waiting on a Song is an album by Dan Auerbach, released in 2017. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 12 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Shine On Me”, on 12 lists with a best position of #14.
Eight years after Keep It Hid, Black Keys guitarist and singer Dan Auerbach released his second solo album, Waiting on a Song, on June 2, 2017, and it doubled as the very first release on Easy Eye Sound, his own label. He cut it at his Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville, and you can hear the man who took the Grammy for producer of the year in 2013 enjoying himself, stepping away from the band for sunny, easy-rolling pop rock that's warm and a little old-fashioned.
"Shine On Me" is the breezy, strutting one that caught on with the countdowns, and the title track went out as a UK single that June, its Bryan Schlam video featuring cameos from John Prine and Pat McLaughlin. Critics liked it well enough, giving it a Metacritic average of 75 across 19 reviews.
