Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys has announced a brand new solo album called Waiting On A Song and shared first track "Shine On Me".

The record follows Auerbach's 2009 debut solo LP Keep It Hid, and is described as a "love letter to Nashville".

Other names include Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits, who guests on "Shine On Me".

"Living in Nashville has definitely changed the way I think about music and the way that I record it," Auerbach says of the album. "I didn’t have all of these resources before. I am working with some of the greatest musicians that ever lived."
