Dan Auerbach featured on Cars 3 soundtrack

Disney has released a new track by Dan Auerbach from the upcoming Pixar film Cars 3. The Black Keys frontman released his newest solo album, Waiting on a Song, earlier this month (and chatted with David Safar about it earlier this year). In a similar vein of his bright and bouncy single “Shine on Me,” the Cars 3 tune “Run that Race” is filled with optimism and catchy hooks.

Bob Seger hits streaming services

After a years-long holdout, 13 of Bob Seger’s albums are now available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Slacker Radio and Napster. In a 2014 interview with Rolling Stone, Seger said the unavailability of his music was an issue involving his manager and Capitol Records. “I wish people could get any song at any time,” he told the magazine. As noted by Rolling Stone, his earlier albums (including Noah, Mongrel, Brand New Morning, Smokin’ O.P’s, Back In ‘72 and Seven) are still out of print, and any album since 1991’s The Fire Inside is still unavailable online, though some may be added in the future.

Seger will also tour the country with his Silver Bullet Band this summer, though no Minnesota dates have been announced.
