“Put a Flower in Your Pocket”
The Arcs is a new band from Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, along with Richard Swift, Leon Michels, Homer Steinweiss, and Nick Movshon. In this episode, Dan, Richard, and Leon break down the song “Put a Flower in Your Pocket” from their debut album Yours, Dreamily. They talk about how the song grew out of a single guitar line played by their friend and Country session musician Russ Pahl, and how they combined vintage gear with modern recording techniques to craft their sound.
