Today, at long last, the Raconteurs debut album, Broken Boy Soldiers, finally hits the shelves.  One can only assume this to be a good thing.
The Raconteurs, incase you're in the dark, are four fellas from Detroit, one of them happening to be Jack White. At least that's what they'd like you to believe. In truth, the Raconteurs are Jack White, and three fellas from Detroit about to reap huge financial dividends from being in a band with Jack White. They'd like you to believe the Raconteurs are an equal collaboration between four musicians, but the world will never view this band as more than a side project.
Perhaps they are just that. Either way, the record should be worth purchasing. They'll perform on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" this Thursday, May 18. â€" Matt Driscoll
