Says 14 out of the 16 songs recored down in Muscle Shoals will be used. In regards to this, any clue what the Keys do with their outtakes? I know Dan used a few songs from the A&R sessions on his solo stuff.
Sounds like good hype to me:
"“It is by far their biggest statement,” said Neill of the new album during a December 5 phone interview. “This is it. It is the equivalent to Radiohead’s OK Computer, and that’s because of the songs.… Vocally, [Auerbach] is the closest thing we have to Otis Redding. A few times I’d slip up and call him Otis.”"
