The Greenhornes

Add Date: November 16 

Artist: The Greenhornes 

Album: **** 

Label: Third Man/Warner Bros.

Genre: Rock 

Comments: The Greenhornes are part of the bigger Midwestern music scene that produced The White Stripes; two of the three members of the band, Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler, join Jack White in The Raconteurs, and Lawrence is also part of The Dead Weather. The Greenhornes' music is straight-up revivalist rock, pulling heavily from '60s rock and R&B, often bringing to mind The Kinks and The Yardbirds. Though the band has put out some EPs and singles over the past few years, **** is their first proper full-length since 2002's Dual Mono. It's not an album that will blow you away, and it's not designed to--this is, as the promoter says, "good, old-fashioned rock 'n roll, plain and simple."

Check out "Saying Goodbye," "Song 13" and "Underestimator."
