Dan Auerbach announces reissue of his solo debut album, Keep It Hid

Dan Auerbach’s debut solo album Keep It Hid will return to physical formats next month, with the seminal 2009 collection being reissued on vinyl, CD, and limited edition cassette. The fourteen-song debut marked Auerbach’s first major work outside of The Black Keys. The collection spans from echo-laden garage rock ("Heartbroken, In Disrepair") and fuzz-scarred blues ("The Prowl") to haunted Southern soul ("Real Desire") and bittersweet-country comfort ("When The Night Comes"). The album was hailed as “intimate and thrilling” by NPR’s Fresh Air upon its original release, with reviewer Ken Tucker adding it “sounds like a clearing of the throat and mind.” The 2023 reissue of the long-out-of-print Keep It Hid will arrive on September 29, equipped with new album art and six updated vinyl variants, as well as a limited-edition cassette release for the first time.
