Raconteurs tap Skaggs, Monroe for "Old Enough" remake

Jack White may have some strange habits, but laurel-resting isn't one of them. The Raconteurs recently announced in a press release that they've enlisted country luminary Ricky Skaggs and up-and-comer Ashley Monroe to give Consolers of the Lonely single "Old Enough" a bluegrass treatment.

Drummer Patrick Keeler explained that "we wanted to show a different side of the band and work with a few local artists we highly respect. Ricky is a legend, plain and simple, and one of the best players around. Ashley Monroe is a young, rising star with an angelic voice."

"Old Enough" will be released Dec. 2 exclusively as a digital download on Amazon before dropping on other online shops and brick-and-mortar stores on Dec. 9. Finally, it'll get the full 7" vinyl treatment on Dec. 16.

Tracklist:
1. Old Enough (feat. Ricky Skaggs & Ashley Monroe)
2. Top Yourself (Bluegrass version)
