Dan Auerbach released his first solo track in over 5 years today, as a part of the upcoming blues compilation,Tell Everybody! (21st Century Juke Joint Blues From Easy Eye Sound). The insistent instrumental drone on "Every Chance I Get (I Want You In The Flesh)" will remind some listeners of Canned Heat’s 1967 recording “On the Road Again” — “I loved that song as a kid,” says Auerbach — which itself borrowed from Chicago bluesman Floyd Jones’ “Dark Road” (1953) and its inspiration, Mississippi Delta deity Tommy Johnson’s “Big Road Blues” (1928).
The album surveys the modern blues scene and is composed of exclusive, Auerbach-produced recordings featuring blues legends like Bentonia’s Jimmy “Duck” Holmes and the Delta gospel sounds of Leo “Bud” Welch; alongside brilliant youngbloods like Detroit duo Moonrisers and Korean-American Kentucky native Nat Myers. Tell Everybody! is the latest iteration of Easy Eye Sound’s mission to uplift unsung voices in the blues genre.
