Raconteurs, The - Broken Boy Soldiers [LP]

Broken Boy Soldiers is the debut album by American rock band The Raconteurs, released on May 15, 2006. In forming The Raconteurs, four old friends from Detroit have done the unexpected, they've produced an irresistible and emotional album. This is no self indulgent side-project, Jack White is clearly enjoying living with the luxury of musical freedom. Shifting from the strict minimalism associated with The White Stripes, this debut is satisfyingly relaxed. The albums music moves from Brendan Benson's trademark tender melodies to quirky pop tunes and empathetic, angry blues tracks. The inclusion of playful rhythms and psychedelic twists and turns hold your interest throughout. Broken Boy Soldiers is proof that The Raconteurs have bonded together and released an album as a band.
