Easy Eye Sound - the Nashville based label headed by Dan Auerbach and named Billboard’s 2022 Blues Label Of The Year - has shared Tell Everybody! (21st Century Juke Joint Blues From Easy Eye Sound) today; a gripping anthology surveying the current state of the blues. Featuring exclusive recordings, including a new song by The Black Keys, cut at Easy Eye Sounds’ Nashville studio, this snapshot of 21st century juke joint music captures a wide-ranging collection of artists brought together by a label that's earned 16 GRAMMY®-nominations, four Billboard #1 Blues Albums, and widespread acclaim since its founding in 2017. But beyond any of these accolades, Easy Eye Sound works to preserve the blues, uplift unsung voices in the genre and, in the process, build a thriving, multigenerational community. Across its twelve tracks, Tell Everybody! serves as a living embodiment of that core mission.

"With the way the production is built around the artists, no one should be surprised that in Music City, Easy Eye Sound is recording and releasing blues material every bit as splendid, gritty — and yes, authentic — as anything coming out of Chicago or Mississippi." - Nashville Scene

"This is a powerful, insistent collection of artists laying down a murky groove that few contemporary artists get right. Credit producer/auteur Auerbach, who understands, appreciates, and is inspired by the music these non-commercial artists make and uses his capacity as a high-profile star to share it with the world.” - American Songwriter

"Tell Everybody! anthologizes some of the most important and undersung blues work of the last century...ranging near and far across the works of bluesmen who have greatly informed the landscape." - Paste Magazine 

"Glenn Schwartz is one of America's great unsung guitar heroes – as evidenced by Tell Everybody!" - Guitar World (on "Daughter of Zion") 

"Paying homage to the muddy roots that inspired him, Auerbach keeps the heart and spirit of the blues alive for future generations to enjoy.” - No Depression

Throughout its tracklist, Tell Everybody! features masters like Louisiana powerhouse Robert Finley, North Mississippi’s RL Boyce, Betonia’s Jimmy “Duck” Holmes, and the Delta gospel sounds of Leo Bud Welch; alongside brilliant youngbloods like Detroit duo Moonrisers, Chicago-based Gabe Carter, and Korean-American Kentucky native Nat Myers. Auerbach shares a pair of never-before-heard tracks from both The Black Keys and his solo work, and can be heard with members of The Arcs alongside Joe Walsh backing the late Ohio blues hero Glenn Schwartz - a seminal if unsung guitar mentor for both Auerbach and Walsh alike.

To celebrate the release, Easy Eye Sound threw a Juke Joint Jam album release party earlier this week at Nashville's Brooklyn Bowl. The event was headlined by The Black Keys, with the band that created the GRAMMY-nominated Delta Kreamalbum — including Hill Country blues legends Kenny Brown (guitar) and Eric Deaton (bass) — and a special guest performance from Robert Finley with guest drummer Jeffrey Clemens. Additional sets were performed by Tell Everybody!contributors Jimmy “Duck” Holmes and Gabe Carter, who was joined by the Hill Country’s own Kinney Kimbrough on drums.
