Help Us Stranger is an album by The Raconteurs, released in 2019. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 26 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Now That You're Gone”, on 11 lists with a best position of #26.
Help Us Stranger, the Raconteurs' third album, came out on Third Man Records on June 21, 2019, a full 11 years after Consolers of the Lonely, and the Detroit four-piece picks up as if they'd only stepped out for a smoke. Jack White and Brendan Benson still share the vocals and guitars, with Jack Lawrence on bass and Patrick Keeler on drums. The band produced it themselves at Third Man Studio in Nashville, with Joshua V. Smith engineering and Vance Powell mixing at Blackbird Studio across town.
It's garage rock with the amps pushed into the red, two frontmen sparring to see who can land the bigger hook. "Sunday Driver" rattles and roars, while "Now That You're Gone" and "Help Me Stranger" bring the swing and the heart.
