Jack White has decided to call his previously reported collaboration with Brendan Benson the Raconteurs. On the project White told Billboard: "We'll probably be coming out with a new record next year. We're almost done with it. It's something totally new for me - two songwriters working together. Dual vocals, dual lead guitars, dual songwriting duties."
White also told the magazine that the Raconteurs wouldn't be just him and Benson - Jack Lawrence will play bass while Patrick Keller is on drums: "It's a brand new band. It's not just me and Brendan. Patrick and Jack are very talented musicians. The songs are giant. They're really large."
