4. 'Kay, here's a lyrics question. Which song contains the lines "White Americans. What? , Nothing better to do? , Why don't you kick yourself out? You're an immigrant too"?

This song is a rare example of political commentary from Jack White, which is something he usually shies away from in song.

Jack and his family recently moved to Nashville. The album was recorded in just two weeks at Blackbird Studio. Meg resides in Los Angeles, many miles away from Detroit where the band first rose to prominence.

"Rag And Bone" is a quirky little bluesy shuffle about going house to house looking for other people's junk.
7. Which word completes this song title? "300 M.P.H. Torrential_______ Blues".

This is my favorite song on the album. Not that there are any bad ones. But that's just my own humble opinion!

True to form, the cover is black, white and red. The red is a little less prominent on this cover, though. The only red you see is in a rectangular shape in the top center of the cover. Jack White has long been fascinated with the black, white and red color combo.
