I can't tell you how amazing it feels to see and hear this song get so much appreciation. I always have to introduce people to it, because so few people have heard it! Glad you did this video guy :)
Rak can tours is kind of how you pronounce it. Raconteur means storyteller. I've been enjoying your song choices and reactions...love this song. Jack White is a genius, so unique.
I haven't seen this live performance before. WTF? Brilliant. How many times do you have to hear this before you realize there is no chorus? I think it was like, 5 times in, it slowly dawned. I hope you shared this with your wife, if she likes the White Stripes, she'll love Raconteurs. Try Steady as She Goes. It's impossible to sit still. These guys are easily one of the all time greatest rock bands, and Jack White has a hand in everything. He helped produce, or produced Lemonade with Beyonce, He did the some for Loretta Lynn, who's gotta be about 80 bye now, and that was a huge success. He's got a press at his Studio, Third Man records, where they are making VINYL records right there. You can go in, record and get a record pressed, label design, album cover, the whole thing. He's from Detroit, I'm sure I read he lived in Nashville at some point, anyway he's gotten over 30 Grammy nominations, and 12 wins as The White Stripes, The Dead Weather, The Raconteurs, a solo artist and producer. (I'm kind of a fan) And he's even better live, which is how I like my music. Loved your authentic reaction, and your good vibes. Broken Boy Soldier is another great song, but check out Steady as She Goes - your wife ought to love that one.
You HAVE to go with your wife to see Jack perform this song live (he does it when touring solo as well as with The Racs). The best way I can describe it is like going to church. Chills every time. Jack live is something you have to see at least once in your life.
I believe you. Having seen him live but not this song and from the first time I saw/heard this song on UA-cam, it was definitely spiritual. I knew life would never be the same. It has not and in the most beautiful of ways. I found Jack in 2020. Lifer now.
Got-Dam is right. I think Blue Veins is the only Rac song I love more than this one but honestly, I just super love the whole band and all of their songs. Carolina Drama should be a movie.
I'm with the others who say, FINALLY someone reacted to this great song! One thing that must be known about this song is that Bob Dylan himself gave Jack White a little advice about the lyrics, to leave the listener wondering or keep it mysterious, something along those lines. This is the absolute best song on Consolers of the Lonely, which is saying something because the whole album is outstanding. But I definitely agree that listening to this is like a movie in your mind. I can see the house, the truck, Billy, the red-headed mother, the preacher, the "triple loser with some blue tattoos that were given to him when he was young", everything.
Go watch the live versions of The Raconteurs - Blue Veins. Either the Norway one or the one from Montreux. They are some of the best, most transcendent performances ever
Jack White has conversations within songs reminiscent of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash...you just know he has huge back stories in his head for each character
I see alot of people and they are scared and I dont know what to tell them anymore...the want answers but tell them not to fear kind of of goes out tha window...theres UA-cam and there is real life and what are you to say to someone who's lost everything.I love what you guys do and I have given you crap on alot of things but my heart is broken and I dont know how to help people anymore man......what you do here I applaud at least you probably can help
Hey man, great reaction! Have you ever listened to Hurricane by Bob Dylan? It’s the true story of Rubin Carter, a boxer sent down for a murder he didn’t commit…absolutely amazing song would love to hear your reaction to it!
I'm not huge on this band, but I do like this song and a lot of what White has done with The Dead Weather, The White Stripes, and Loretta Lynn.... YES, Loretta Lynn. Check out the tune Portland Oregon with her and Jack White. Priceless!!! Peace!
So there's a companion song called "Go Ask the Milkman" by the Pickens County Bandits that explains a lot more of the story hence the final line of the song. Go Ask the Milkman is told from the point of view of billy's little brother. It's revealed that the mother had an affair with the milkman and the father left. Later on the mother ends up with an abusive boyfriend and begins seeing the milkman again. It's implied the boyfriend sort of finds out but blames the father who is now a preacher. During the altercation in Carolina Drama, which is sort of left to the imagination in Ask the Milkman, the milkman shows up for his rendezvous but finds the door locked and runs away presumably leaving his hat and a bottle of gin. There's a couple inconsistencies but it's a really cool concept.
Jack White has had so many amazing projects, the man has got 'it', such a wonderful groove.
I've been waiting for someone, anyone to react to this song. I get chills every time I hear the last verse.
Thanks, dude

This song still gives me chills. Every time.. epic

It's one of my favorite songs!
Oh man, I love your take on this! Jack White is my favorite artist. You got a new a subscriber here!

I'm an idiot. She still has not heard this band. I know she would love this. Thanks for reminding me.
A lot of us had that reaction! Subscribed
Truly awesome story telling and an amazing song
Huge White Stripes fan and Raconteurs are even better. Bunch of great tracks

I didn't see you did this! This is so exciting! I've never clicked on anything so fast.
Got-Dam is right. I think Blue Veins is the only Rac song I love more than this one but honestly, I just super love the whole band and all of their songs.
Carolina Drama should be a movie.
You can try Blue veins/ The switch and the spur (Brendan Benson is a amazing singer)/ their version of Bang Bang. Greetings from Argentina! 🤘
Yes! Blue veins and broken boy soldier, along with this, are the most amazing songs :)
The horns in Switch and the Spur swirled around my head for days on end and I couldn’t even sleep.
Great choice! Saw them live last year in DC - such an incredible show!
One of the best story-songs ever! Now do THE SMOKE OFF by Shel Silverstein.

Just found your channel and was probably one of the best reaction vids I’ve seen!
this whole album is great actually!!
Go watch the live versions of The Raconteurs - Blue Veins. Either the Norway one or the one from Montreux. They are some of the best, most transcendent performances ever
Jack White has conversations within songs reminiscent of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash...you just know he has huge back stories in his head for each character
Love the line ....The white milk dripped down with the blood
The word Raconteur literally means story teller!
thank you for this reaction man. A great one.
Great band, much better than White Stripes.
Almost forgot: Ween - Freedom of 76
YES WEEN FREEDOM OF 76..
Good to see you still going man!
I see alot of people and they are scared and I dont know what to tell them anymore...the want answers but tell them not to fear kind of of goes out tha window...theres UA-cam and there is real life and what are you to say to someone who's lost everything.I love what you guys do and I have given you crap on alot of things but my heart is broken and I dont know how to help people anymore man......what you do here I applaud at least you probably can help
Kind of makes my requests pointless
I loved your review. Cheers!
Nice....”maybe when you’re old enough “
Yeah bud. Yeah. Great song and story
Great reaction, new sub!
The vibe is definitely like the Raconteurs, but ironically, the Raconteurs haven't written a lot of stories xD
Hey man, great reaction! Have you ever listened to Hurricane by Bob Dylan? It’s the true story of Rubin Carter, a boxer sent down for a murder he didn’t commit…absolutely amazing song would love to hear your reaction to it!
Check out his other band The Dead Weather. Fantastic music in a completely different genre with Jack on drums.
Jack White is a Boss.
If you like songs that tell a story, definitely check out The Decemberists - Mariners Revenge song
I'm not huge on this band, but I do like this song and a lot of what White has done with The Dead Weather, The White Stripes, and Loretta Lynn.... YES, Loretta Lynn. Check out the tune Portland Oregon with her and Jack White. Priceless!!! Peace!
You should check out Jack White’s duet with Loretta Lynn called Portland, Or.
nice content i really liked it
Jack white has confirmed that "the milk man" was billy who killed the boyfriend but never actually left the state
Love y'all's reactions

Billy is the milkman right
Try out Steady as She Goes, Blue Veins, Hands or Level.
Search “Go Ask The Milkman”
If you like good storytelling songs then listen to gordon lightfoot or the tragically hip 🇨🇦
fail, 2 typos in the title.
thanks, I'll take care of it. I'm kinda rushing today.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT no worries, but now you have to react to EMPEROR The Loss and Curse of Reverence. \m/
