Episode 94 – Consolers of the Lonely: Analysis & Review vol.2

We'll speak to you but won't speak softly - we'll talk to you and let you know all about Consolers of the Lonely! Welcome back to our analysis and review of the fan-favorite sophomore album by The Raconteurs. WOW, what a time to be a Racs fan! With a new album on the way, your home away from Nashville home is here to give you the down and dirty on the group's ambitious, thoughtful, spontaneous and razor sharp follow-up to 2006's Broken Boy Soldiers. Last episode we discussed the LP's release, the story behind the title and its elaborate packaging -- and this week we're talkin' the tunes. We'll go track by track and dissect this thing like a poor soul who trespassed against us, along with critical reception, some final thoughts from the band and our own personal ratings for the record. Plus, we're thrilled to welcome our very special guest Brandy St. John - stylist for the band and artistic contributor to much of the aesthetic that came to define this era for Jack White, Brendan Benson, LJ Lawrence and Patrick Keeler. In her over six years of working with Third Man, Brandy lent her skilled hand to key looks for The White Stripes, The Dead Weather, Jack White solo and the aforementioned Racs, and we're thrilled to present this first installment of our interview with her detailing it all! So while you're waiting for your Sunday driver, make a decision between just you and me and hold up them ear buds! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
