Jack White's new band's new singles
Jack White, vocalist and guartist of the White Stripes and creator of some of the greatest music I've ever heard, has formed a band with friend Brendan Benson. The band is called The Raconteurs (one who excels at the telling of anecdotes). They have released two singles: Steady as She Goes (sounds like White singing in a Benson style); and Store Bought Bones (Benson singing the way he does, but with harder music behind, which does him more justice than his solo circus sounding music - that's my rock critic vocabulary and I'm sticking to it). Giddy up. The full album is due out in May 2005. How I can't wait. So I'll listen to these two songs and ruin them by the time the album comes out. Take a listen: http://theraconteurs.com/

liner notes written by Andrew Loog Oldham (managed/produced Rolling Stones) - "'the men who produce works of genius are not those who live in the most delicate atmosphere, whose conversation is the most brilliant or culture the most extensive 'wrote marcel proust,' but those who have had the power, ceasing suddenly to live only for themselves, to transform their personality into a sort of mirror'" (15).
