THE WHITE STRIPES "the white stripes" cd, 1999.
career stats:
studio albums.........6
singles.................28
this album.................#158 UK
singles:
"the big three killed my baby"............no chart action
debut set from Jack and Meg White...
Meg bangs the drums and Jack plays everything else and sings,
same formula as their other album....
almost bluesy sound on this one....
I have all their albums, would have picked this one up as my final purchase
as I went back through their catalogue to complete the collection...
good job I didn't get this one first as i'd probably not have returned to them...
two covers on this one..."one more cup of coffee" (Bob Dylan) and a traditional folk song
"St James infirmary blues" which is also called "gamblers blues" on some occasions when others have recorded it...
terrible album IMO, lack of depth in the songs, his vocals, lyrics, you name it, its just not there...
even the tacks I like are scraping the bottom of the barrel...
I couldn't care less if I never heard this one ever again.!
worst track....pick one, any one, and youll probably hate it!
best track.....the big three killed my baby
