Hanni El Khatib – Family

Hanni El Khatib’s brand of blues/soul-driven rock and roll gets an assist from Akron OH guitar player Dan Auerbach on “Family”, the first single from the L.A.-based Khatib’s forthcoming Head in the Dirt. Auerbach’s hand is strong on “Family”; where the guts of 100 years of blues & soul & old-time R&B focused through the most precise and skillful arrangements Keys sort of sound helps propel Khatib into a palatability & accessbility he’s not yet not realized until now.
