"Help Me Stranger" all but shares its name with Help Us Stranger, the Raconteurs' third album, which Third Man Records released on June 21, 2019, ending an 11-year wait for a new studio record after Consolers of the Lonely in 2008. Brendan Benson and Jack White share the writing credit, and the band produced it themselves.
It was cut at Third Man Studio in Nashville with Joshua V. Smith engineering and Dusty Fairchild assisting, then mixed across town at Blackbird Studio by Vance Powell and the band, with Mike Fahey assisting. The road back had been paved with a reissue: for the tenth anniversary of Consolers, Third Man put it out again along with two songs that had never been released, "Sunday Driver" and "Now That You're Gone".
