Episode 73 – The Lost Raconteurs Album

What this episode covers

Welcome to the LOST ALBUM CHRONICLES; a new ongoing series where we explore a bit of the strange and unusual in the world of Third Man Records. The Jack White world is often booming with content and activity, but sometimes a project just doesn't quite take off for reasons unexplained. Your humble cohosts have discovered many such curiosities worth exploring, and we begin that exploration with perhaps the most fascinating...the tale of the lost Raconteurs album. In the 2011-2013 timeframe, Jack White and Brendan Benson were busy with mammoth undertakings such as solo albums, side projects and sustaining their own respective record labels. Curiously, however, Jack and Brendan were <em>also</em> busy talking about the possibilities of a new Raconteurs project, at one point even confirming the existence of new recordings. This week we examine the evidence and walk you the listener through several other odd happenings during this two year period. Of course, the only people who really know what was or wasn't put to tape are Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack "LJ" Lawrence and Patrick Keeler...but if they'll never speak then we'll have to guess! Other than speculation, also chatting with us this episode is third woman Arielle Kaminski to talk Jack's recent concert in Cooperstown, NY. So join the third men for a look at the many things we haven't got, and we hope you have as much fun along the way as we did! <br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
