The Raconteurs vs. Styx


Just curious to hear from those folks who have already bought the new album by the Raconteurs, Consolers of the Lonely...does anyone else think that "Rich Kid Blues" sounds awfully reminiscent of Styx? Not that there's anything wrong with that.... I would love to hear your comments on this.

You do know that Rick Kid Blues is a cover right? :)
COTL= GREAT ALBUM.

Yup, by Terry Reid...thanks for bringing that up Leslie. The interpretation sounds so different than the sound of the rest of the album, just curious what this one track sounds like to other people's ears!

The jig is up! The news is out! Now we gotta go find the old Terry Reid album it was originally on, and see how much Styx sounds like HIM...

OMFG!!!! They sound exactly like Styx! I'm listening to Rich Kid's Blues right now and I had to search the internet to see if anyone else thought that they sounded similar. It's uncanny...
