The Raconteurs - Hands
Review by jeff herman
The Raconteurs' album "Hands" is a rock masterpiece that showcases the band's musical prowess and versatility. The album is a fusion of various musical styles, including blues, garage rock, and country, making it a must-listen for fans of the genre.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Steady As She Goes," a guitar-driven track that features catchy hooks and powerful vocals. The song perfectly captures the band's signature sound and sets the tone for the rest of the album.
Another highlight of the album is "Level," a bluesy track that features Jack White's impressive guitar skills. The song is a slow burn that builds up to a powerful climax, leaving listeners in awe.
The album also features a number of ballads, such as "Together" and "Call It a Day," which showcase the band's softer side. These tracks are a welcome break from the high-energy rock that dominates most of the album.

Funny because Brendan wrote this song not Jack.
Guess you just look like an idiot now.
This song is simply phenomenal, I can't get enough of the bridge part, ahhh!
