Free Music Notes for Broken Boy Soldiers
Free Music Review: Great Change of Pace
Hit: 4 Stars
I'm not that familiar with White Strips stuff (yet) but I have one album and granted it's not their best but there's still something that intrigues you about Jack White. It might be his energy but it's probably more his orginality. Now with the formation of The Dead Weather, it's good to see someone with a keen talent not waste it wrapped up with one band or group. Call me crazy, but I think he very much reminds me of Beck when it comes to creating music that is different, refreshing, nastalgic, raw all in the saw album. (yah, I still call them albums)Free Music Review: love jack white

Although it's not as facinating as the White Stripes, you gotta give Jack credit for his versatility. Most of this is a late 60s time warp, with a modern edge. Some songs bring to mind the Beatles, Bad Finger and the Moody Blues - but again, with a current twist.Free Music Review: Fantastic Album

Forming The Raconteurs was the greatest idea Jack White has ever had. When he realized that his main project, The White Stripes, wasn't going anywhere, he got together with Brendan Benson and the remnants of the band The Greenhornes. The result was something that sounded nothing like anything White had ever done, and it was recieved warmly by critics. The music is a combination of indie rock, blues, and folk with lyrics similar to those of Beck's ("Intimate Secretary," "Store Bought Bones") and it sounds like nothing I've ever heard. At a mere thirty three minutes, the album is extremely upbeat and very easy to get through, and it only gets weak near the end. The album is in no way repetative and every song is unique, especially with White and Benson sharing vocals. For the most part, the music is very light and cheery with the exception of the song "Broken Boy Soldier." Somehow White makes his voice sound like a scary old lady and the song honestly creeps the snot out of me. But in a good way, I guess.
