Brendan Benson

"Red White and Blues"

BY Alex HudsonPublished Jul 11, 2013

Jack White cohort Brendan Benson has embarked upon a series of monthly singles with the aim of releasing a new album after a year. The Raconteurs member's latest song from the project is "Red White and Blues."

The tune is a straightforward roots rocker that mixes acoustic strumming with bluesy electric licks. As you'd expect from the title, it plays on the colours of the American flag as the punning punchline to each verse.

The single is officially out on July 16 through Dine Alone/Ready Made.
