The Raconteurs lent heavily on their new album Help Us Stranger as they made their live comeback in Nashville last Saturday.
Performing for Third Man’s 10th anniversary, the band gave those in attendance a healthy preview of what will be their first studio album since 2008’s Consolers Of The Lonely when it is released on June 21st, but also found room for a few old favourites, the most notable of course being Steady As She Goes.
The Raconteurs now head to Australasia and are due at All Points East in London on May 25th.
