ImageThis weeks CD of the Week is the debut album from The Raconteurs.

'Broken Boy Soldiers' is the brainchild of White Stripes singer Jack White along with friend Brendan Benson, who has had a decent solo career in his own right.


From HMV: "The Raconteurs are a new band made up of old friends, consisting of Jack Lawrence (bass), Patrick Keeler (drums), Brendan Benson (guitars, vocals, keys) and Jack White (guitars, vocals, keys). The seed was sewn in an attic in the middle of a hot summer when friends Jack White and Brendan Benson got together and wrote a song that truly inspired them.

This song was 'Steady, As She Goes' and the inspiration led to the creation of a full band with the addition of Lawrence and Keeler. While each of these four individuals have had successful careers with their own bands, the culmination of all of their talents is what truly makes The Raconteurs a force to be reckoned with.

The quartet convened at Benson's East Grand Studio to lay down the basic tracks for 'Broken Boy Soldiers'. From the ready-made, radio-friendly quality built into songs like 'Steady, As She Goes', to the explosive tenacity of 'Store Bought Bones', all the way down to the warming lullabies that encompass the full length recording, The Raconteurs are more than capable of conquering any genre challenge or tale that they encounter. After all, a raconteur is, by definition, a deft storyteller. And now a new story is unfolding. Behold The Raconteurs..."
