Raconteurs "Yellow Sun"

Jack White (and his ex-wife/sister Meg) has been the only one keeping the wind-swept flame of my rock-n-roll hopes flickering in these doldrums of poorly produced and poorly promoted thunder artists. And then along comes Mr. White again with another album to keep me sincerely interested. Broken Boy Soldiers from his new band The Racontuers is equal parts Jellyfish, Beatles, The Who, and The Kinks, with a healthy dose of the rawness of The Stripes, and I friggin' love it. Can't get enough of it. Here's my favorite track of the moment: Yellow Sun.
