4 albums in 4 years?

 

Ryan Adams has put out 10 albums in 9 years officially, and a lot more unofficial stuff online, plus the 5 finished but unreleased album sessions which will form part of the 20:20 box-set whenever it see the light of day

why have I never seen this before? Jack White is one of my favourite guitarrists

jack white has made 8 albums in 9 years and will make it 9 in 10 years when releases the white stripes 7th studio album. there are many artists out there who have done similar things but the different with jack is that he has also headlined basically every major music festival in the world and received unbelievable critical acclaim.

Apart from that he is a front-runner in the noise wars. Icky Thump is so loud.

carolina drama is a classic. thats all i have to add.

i would go as far as to say that Carolina Drama is one of the best songs of the decade to be never released as a single. its a big call but i firmly believe it.

^Carolina Drama is a great song. :)

 

new video:

Btw one of my fave songs of their second album is: Many Shades of Black.

 

Just a question:

Is just me or seems that the first and second album are so different? (i mean about the lyrics and topics they talk about, musically i see they keep their style :cool: )

thanks for the video. it was alright.

you are welcome ;)

The Raconteurs are likely to make more records together, according to co-frontman Brendan Benson, but only after the rhythm section's cult band The Greenhornes reform.

 

Speaking to NME in a video interview you can watch on the right now, the singer explained that all the members of The Raconteurs were keen to do more, but they were excited that drummer Patrick Keeler and bassist 'Little' Jack Lawrence were reforming their first group, who went on hiatus as The Raconteurs formed.

 

The Greenhornes, completed by frontman Craig Fox, formed in 1996 in Cincinnati. Their music – and particularly their collaboration with Holly Golightly, 'There Is An End' – featured prominently in Jim Jarmusch's 2005 movie Broken Flowers.

 

"We're all busy," explained Benson. "Patrick and LJ are starting The Greenhornes again, putting that back together and I think they're touring, which is great news because that's been a long time coming.

 

"They had a record that they sat on forever during The Raconteurs, so that's finally coming out and, of course, Jack [White] has The Dead Weather and all that."

 

However, the singer suggested there will be more to come from The Raconteurs.

 

"We haven't talked about it, but [doing more]'s not out of the question. The Raconteurs is a band that was founded on this impulsive basis," he explained. "It was always spontaneous for us and we want to keep it that way. So when the time is right and everyone converges we'll do it."

 

Watch the video interview now, which includes Benson's plans to release a new collection of his own material.

glad to see the greenhornes back together. they seemed to have disappeared suddenly and for a very long time for no good reason. personally i want a new white stripes album before anything more from the raconteaurs/saboteurs
