Together with The Black Keys\u2019 Dan Auerbach and blues virtuoso Marcus King, Eddie appears poised to crack Nashville on a vintage-tinged tune that waves at the past as it propels the singer forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eddie\u2019s new album, <em>Down Here<\/em>, is due November 6 on Auerbach\u2019s label, Easy Eye Sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Meet My Destiny<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Eddie 9V - &quot;Blowin&amp;apos; Up&quot; [Official Music Video]\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5jWNbUGVzqI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eddie emerged from Atlanta\u2019s club scene, but here he arrives in Nashville like so many before him, determined to be a star. The singer is ready to take on Music City, backed by a flashy stomp that echoes the garage rock of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/the-black-keys\/howlin-for-you\">Auerbach\u2019s main gig<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I pulled into Nashville half-past three,<br>I was there meet my destiny.<br>Well the song they sing, Lord knows I\u2019ve had enough,&nbsp;<br>It won\u2019t be long now till I\u2019m blowing up<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His partner has remained by his side, enduring more lean times than not. But Eddie assures her things are going to change in Nashville. Hold on, love. The checks are just around the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Hey there mama, just you wait and see,<br>This town gonna make a star of me.<br>We had it rough, but you loved me enough,<br>It won\u2019t be long now till I\u2019m blowing up<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Written by Eddie, Auerbach, and Marcus King, the swaggering irony of \u201cBlowin\u2019 Up\u201d reaches its peak when The Black Keys\u2019 front man doubles the vocal hook with a distorted kazoo. And you can imagine a humid and packed club\u2014somewhere on the lonely road\u2014losing its mind by the time King burns the guitar solo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>You\u2019re gonna read all about it,<br>Maybe you just won\u2019t understand.<br>And for all of you who doubted,<br>This is how I take my stand.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>Yeah, yeah, yeah<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Everywhere All at Once<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a certain amount of absurdity required for one to enter the rock and roll business. But Eddie has been at this for a while. He understands the game and leans into it as he attempts to take over Nashville. And he\u2019s smart enough to surround himself with an all-star cast to help him get the job done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Mama, I\u2019m gonna put it all to bed,<br>Mama, I\u2019m gonna paint this whole town red.<br>I\u2019ll be everywhere all at once,<br>And it won\u2019t be long, now I\u2019m blowing up<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photo by David A.
