![]() Their cover of Robert Johnson’s ‘Stop Breaking Down’ blows away the Rolling Stones’ take from Exile On Main Street for pure energy. Still, as long as they’re working with strong material, they sound terrific. While this raw sound does have its appeal, it becomes wearying over the course of the album, even if they do vary the approach by using acoustic guitar or piano as the primary instrument or by adding some organ. It’s messily produced and raw sounding, and there’s seldom more than a single guitar track, Jack’s vocal and Meg’s drums. The White Stripes Album Reviews The White StripesĬompared to their later records, Te White Stripes’ debut album is extremely primitive. Jack White’s career has continued with The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather, and as a solo artist. The White Stripes, however, were one of the best rock and roll singles band of their era – ‘Seven Nation Army’, ‘Fell In Love With A Girl’, and ‘My Doorbell’ all sounded great on the radio. Their stripped back, blues derived sound can only go so far, and I only own three of their six albums – I reviewed a couple of others when I borrowed them from a friend, and I’ve never bothered with 2007’s swansong Icky Thump. I like The White Stripes’ unique sound, and Jack White’s a talented man, but there’s only so much White Stripes music I need in my life. The White Stripes have a strong conceptual basis – their visual appearance is also an important component of this – breaking down rock and blues to their barest essentials and re-configuring them, and Meg’s extremely simplified technique is a crucial part of the aesthetic. On the other hand, his former wife Meg is a rudimentary drummer, but her simple style gives the band its unique sound. Jack White is full of charisma, he’s a talented guitarist and writes all the songs. Their first album was released in 1999, while the band essentially wound down after their sixth album in 2007. Dispensing even with a bass player, the purported brother and sister duo delivered direct, blues-inflected rock. ![]() I think it’s our most dense sounding record yet.There are many examples in popular music of stripping away the superfluity and getting back to basics, but it doesn’t get much more basic than Detroit’s The White Stripes. Meg- “only if you’re happy with the record.” Jack- “anything else “you” would like to know?” Jack- “this album was cursed when we started, and then suddenly came around near the end. Meg- “I know that, but did you enjoy yourself?” Jack- “it’s always pleasant to work with you meg” Meg- “was this album pleasant for you to make?” Meg- “your voice sounds really high on this record like the old days.” Meg- “jack the only trick I ever played on you was never tricking you at all.” Jack- “because you’re trying to trick me again!” Jack- “the same thing pizza means to you.” Meg- “what does ‘blue orchid’ mean to you?” Meg- “you want to talk quantum physics or quantum mechanics?” Jack- “I don’t know meg, can you tell me a little bit about the universe?” Meg- “can you tell me a little bit about the album cover?” Meg- “I thought maybe you made an exception after coming out of the closet.” you know I don’t write about myself or my friends, let alone my sister.” Meg white interviews jack white about “get behind me satan” White Stripes - Blue Orchid Video Track /Title Watch/Listen Watch/Listen Download Real Player Windows Media - 1. produced by jack white engineered by matthew kettle a vinyl version of the record will be put on hold pending a unique release. the band will tour prior to, and continue after, the album’s release but are only playing countries and cities that they’ve never been to before. jack white has described the record as an exploration of “characters and the ideal of truth” their fourth album “elephant” was released one year after its completion, by comparison the first single from “get behind me satan” -“blue orchid” was released two weeks after its completion ![]() the band used their live sound engineer to engineer the recording only three songs are electric guitar based contains the white stripes’ shortest song to date none of the songs had been played live before the recording of the albumĭocument.write('') -none of the songs were completely written before the recording of the album songs are deceivingly orchestrated, some sounding as if they were recorded with a full orchestra when they only have piano and bass on them songs were written on piano, acoustic guitar and marimba recorded in Detroit at third man studios, mixed in Memphis at ardent studios, mastered in new york city at masterdisk produced by grammy award winning producer jack white ![]() is the white stripes’ fifth album, out on Monday the 6th of June White Stripes - Blue Orchid Video + Interview ![]()
