Jack White looks right at home making music inside that funky old building at 603 Avalon Ave.

White, the 21st century's best and biggest rock star, and his band The Raconteurs recently cut two songs at Muscle Shoals' FAME Studios: a cover of FAME-cut classic "I'm Your Puppet" and new version of Raconteurs track "Now That Your Gone."

This summer, The Raconteurs performed at Florence's Shoals Theatre as part of Shindig, fashion designer Billy Reid's music, food and culture festival.

Now, the band has issued "I'm Your Puppet" and "Now That You're Gone" as an Amazon Original release titled "Fame Studios Sessions," available to stream or purchase digitally only via Amazon Music.

"I'm Your Puppet" was written by Shoals/Nashville tunesmith Dan Penn and keyboard ace Spooner Oldham. They wrote it at FAME after having dinner at a barbecue joint across the street. The melancholic love song was a 1966 hit for cousin-duo James & Bobby Purify, recorded at FAME with Penn producing the session. Other artists to cut "I'm Your Puppet" over the years include Marvin Gaye, Elton John, The Box Tops and Yo La Tengo.

The Raconteurs tracked "Fame Studios Sessions" on Aug. 23, the same day as their Shoals Theatre gig.

(Not to brag but we totally called this one, in our 2018 AL.com list “20 musicians who should record in Muscle Shoals.”)

The band has released “I’m Your Puppet” and “Now That You’re Gone” as Amazon Originals, available to stream or purchase digitally only via Amazon Music.

You can watch footage from the sessions in the below YouTube clip.

The band’s version of “I’m Your Puppet” mostly to the original arrangement, with White singing lead and fellow singer/guitarist Brendan Benson on backing vocals. White’s playing a Fender Telecaster on the track and both singers’ vocals are through Shure SM7 microphones.

“It’s a song I’ve always loved,” White says of “I’m Your Puppet,” in the YouTube clip. “It was one of those things I heard when I was younger, but didn’t really know where it came from. I didn’t know if it was Motown, I didn’t know if it was from The South or what it was.”

A few years ago, White discovered the song was tracked at FAME in the Shoals.

When the idea for The Raconteurs to record there was floated, he suggested to the band, which also features bassist Jack Laurence and Patrick Keeler, they cover "I'm Your Puppet."

"It's cool how it's crossed cultures and crossed boundaries and stuff," White says in the video interview. "It's a beautiful song."

Stabbing guitars, an ambient bridge and White's wavy outro solo help The Raconteurs add their own fingerprints to "I'm Your Puppet."

"Record stores and studios are the churches of music, I think," White says in the video. "And coming into that place it becomes like a sacred ground. You should be respectful, but also maybe add some other elements to it that carry it on to the next generation if you can."

As impressive a legacy White's built as a musician, with blues-punk duo The White Stripes, classic-rock-y Raconteurs, metallic The Dead Weather and a schizophrenic solo career, his legacy as a studio and label owner may be just as notable.

White's Nashville and Detroit based Third Man Records played a huge role in detonating and furthering the last decade's vinyl record resurgence. He's long been a vintage instruments and recording equipment enthusiast - although he's warmed to technology recently, particularly on cleverly bonkers 2018 solo LP "Boarding House Reach."

During The Raconteurs' time at FAME, White was shown the studio's tape vault. In video from the band's session, the studio's general manager Rodney Hall, son of FAME mastermind/super-producer Rick Hall, tells White the vault contains, "almost everything that's ever been recorded here." A significant statement given FAME's rich history of recording stars like Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Wilson Pickett, Duane Allman, etc. Upon entering the tape vaul, White scans the shelves and remarks, "Oh God. Beautiful."

During a Raconteurs video interview conducted on a brown leather couch inside FAME, White adds, "They're doing their best to protect the history of the studio and the records that they released, and it's great to see they're just the original records in the original location, in original shelves too."

The B-side on "Fame Studio Sessions," "Now That You're Gone," is a song from The Raconteurs' 2019 album "Help Us Stranger," the band's third studio LP and first in more than 10 years. In June, Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke gave "Help Us Stranger" a four stars out of five review.

Like all but one song on that album, "Now That You're Gone" was written by Benson and White. An R&B tinged tune, it was an excellent choice for a Muscle Shoals redux. The "Fame Studios Sessions" version boasts more guitar thud and less atmospherics, with White playing gnarly fuzz riffs on a gold Les Paul Custom and peeling off a tremolo-contoured guitar solo.

The Raconteurs cut in FAME's Studio B. That's the same room an embryonic version of the Allman Brothers Band jammed together for the first time in the late '60s. In the accompanying Amazon video interview, Benson notes Studio B's history was "kind of intimidating." Particularly since that studio was recently upgraded. "In fact, we're the first band to record in this room, as the new B room," Benson says in the video.

As reverent as The Raconteurs are of FAME, they also displayed some humor. When touring multi-instrumentalist Dean Fertita, also guitarist in White's other band The Dead Weather, is tracking a xylophone part for "I'm Your Puppet," using two spoons to strike the instrument. At one point in the footage White borrows one of those spoons to stir his coffee.

The video Amazon released from "Fame Studio Sessions" also shows some of the signature sights there, including the late Rick Hall's green-carpeted upstairs office.

As cool as the recording footage is, the best moment might be when Rodney Hall gives White FAME's last copy of the original "I'm Your Puppet" vinyl single. Remember, White is a man for whom vinyl isn't just a media consumption choice it's a religion.

White’s reaction to Hall’s gift appears genuine and not for the camera: “No! Really? Thank you!”
