]]> The Raconteurs guitarist Brendan Benson has revealed exactly what went down the first time he met Jack White.

The Raconteurs is the side project of multi-instrumentalist and frontman, Jack White. Speaking on a podcast from Third Man Records, Benson shared what it was like meeting Jack White for the first time. It was the late 1990s and when Benson was introduced to White, he was less than impressed.

“We were standing in a room and I was showing him all my stuff, you know, I was kind of showing off all my crap — guitars and amps,” Benson said. “He was smoking a cigarette and he looked around — for an ashtray, I guess, now — but he didn’t find one, so he kind of ashed on the table. I was just like… shocked.”

Benson also shared that White was a fussy eater at the time and managed to enter adulthood without ever trying a tomato.

He recalled: “I think he was picky… Because at the time, I think he wasn’t very health-conscious … I think he had his first tomato at my house.”

The full podcast titled Striped: The Story Of The White Stripes premieres on October 8 via Apple Podcasts.

It has been over a decade since we have heard anything new from Jack White’s side project, The Raconteurs. Anyone who is a fan of Jack While will unlikely have a bad word to say about The Raconteurs, who are fun, the right amount of heavy, and full of sexy riffs.

Now, Jack White has announced that the band will return with two new songs. Yesterday, they released “Sunday Driver” and “Now That You’re Gone.”

The first track of the new offerings sounds edgy and energetic while the second is a little slower and more ballady than we are used to.

The Raconteurs upcoming album will be released in 2019.

]]> Although Jack White had a busy 2018, releasing his long-awaited third solo studio album, Boarding House Reach, and embarking on a massive worldwide tour, he doesn’t intend to take a break. Instead, the 43-year-old musician is working on a new studio release with The Raconteurs; his supergroup formed with Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence, and Patrick Keeler.

The album was announced through White’s recording company Third Man Records and will arrive in 2019. This yet-untitled record will be the band’s first studio release since 2008’s Consolers of the Lonely.

Alongside the announcement about the new album, Third Man Records also revealed that 10-year-anniversary special edition of Consolers of the Lonely would be out soon. Besides the songs from the original release, this edition will also contain two brand new songs from The Raconteurs that will give fans a glimpse of the upcoming album.

The Raconteurs were found in 2005 through Jack White and Brendan Benson’s frequent songwriting sessions. Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler joined in shortly after, and the band released their debut single “Steady, As She Goes,” which was well received by the audience.

Their first studio release came with 2006’s Broken Boy Soldiers, which ended up receiving praise from the critics and being nominated for Best Rock Album at the 49th Grammy Awards. Two years later, The Raconteurs released a follow-up, Consolers of the Lonely, to similar success.
