Eddie 9V releases Down Here via Easy Eye Sound

Atlanta-based singer and guitarist Eddie 9V has released his fifth album, Down Here, marking his debut on Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound label. The project represents a stylistic shift for the artist, moving from his electric blues roots toward a broader Southern soul and R&B sound.

Produced by Auerbach, the album features extensive collaborations, including songwriting and guitar work from the Black Keys frontman. Musician Marcus King also contributes to the record, appearing on several tracks including “Whole Lot Coming for You,” “Blowin’ Up,” and “Maybe That’s a Good Thing.”

The album features a revolving cast of musicians, including Joe Harrison, Dustin McCook, Tom Bukovac, Chris St. Hilaire, Nick Movshon, and Pat Sansone. The tracklist explores various influences, ranging from Marvin Gaye-inspired soul to gritty Southern rock.
