Drove almost 700 miles today and alternated between radio and my newest CD purchase: The Raconteurs’ Consolers of the Lonely.
They have certainly blended together SEVERAL genres on this album (the only one I’ve heard), and I believe they’ve really created something unique. Tonight I found their website and I’ve decided I’ve never seen anything more… err…. retro?

They sound like Rush, back in the day.

Sometimes, they do. Sometimes they sound like Creedence Clearwater Revival. Sometimes they remind me of Aerosmith. And there are a few punk moments scattered within, too…
