"He's a cool guy. Above everything else, we got along as friends. It was really easy to work with him when we got into the studio. Everybody had their equal say and could throw out ideas.""Danger Mouse was just another guy to bounce ideas off of," Auerbach added. "If we'd get stuck in a rut, he could keep us moving forward, keep us focused. When we were just doing fine on our own, he would just stand back and let us work. It was perfect."The album, which follows 2006's "Magic Potion," features guest appearances from a pair of frequent Tom Waits collaborators: guitarist Marc Ribot and multi-instrumentalist Ralph Carney. The set also features vocal contributions on the closing track from 18-year-old bluegrass singer Jessica Lea Mayfield.
