THE RACONTEURS
1 You get one famous dude That's right. because the American supergroup features none other than the famous daft clowning buftoon and outrageous singer and guitarist Jack Black . . . oh, hang on a minute . . . sorry. what? . . . oh yeah. our mistake. It's Jack White from some band called The White Stripes. Actually, that initial description still mostly fits.
2 And you get another quality indie singer songwriter Brendan Benson has long lived in the shadow of his more famous mate White. which is a pity. because his solo stuff has included some of the most moving Io-ti indie songsmithery in years. Needless to say. he's still getting overshadowed. but at least he's getting a slice of the pie. eh?
3 And you get two other geeky looking blokes Members of The Greenhornes. apparently. Don't ask us. They only play bass and drums anyway. Who really cares?
4 You'll get kllts When the band last played Glasgow. Jack White turned up not only in a kilt. but in full Highland regalia. How he got that sgian dubh through security at the airport. we'll never know.
5 And you'll get some great hoary old blues, including that rip-oft tune The band‘s debut single ‘Steady As She Goes' was a dead ringer for Joe Jackson‘s ‘Is She Really Going Out With Him?'. That aside. they do a great line in bluesy old bloke rock. thundering rhythms and big solos and everything. Rock on. (Doug Johnstone)
