The Ennio Morricone-inspired "Switch and the Spur" and the horn-fueled "Many Shades of Black" add more layers on the Raconteurs' retro-rock base — although they are still willing to go deep into classic-rock territory, as with their cover of Terry Reid's "Rich Kid Blues." "When we finished it, we were thinking, 'Wow, this really plays into people thinking that we're some kind of Seventies retro band,' " White says. "But we threw all that aside — we just thought that the song was beautiful."
