2008 Albums...

This album swayed me the other way...

Impressive...it would be hard to beat Elephant and Get Behind Me Satan.

The first Raconteurs album was a little shaky, but the group is really starting to find its sound in this one. You know I'm a huge Stripes fan, but I am really enjoying Jack's side project...

I only found myself really liking a couple of songs off the first one. That's probably why it has taken me so long to get this one. I'll probably make this my next purchase.

I bought from their online site and just burned it to a CD. I think it was only 10.99...

It hasn't got me to the other side...but this is a really good album.

 

I like "Carolina Drama" the best, it's an exceptional track. "You Don't Understand Me", "Top Yourself", and "Rich Kid Blues" are all good too.

Thanks Jim. You need to go get Hayes' album, at his concert they had it in vinyl...I bet they have it at Ear-X-Tacy.

They had it one day I was there, but I hedged on getting it. When I went back a week later to pick it up, it was gone. They may have gotten another copy in by now.
