SteveO Wrote:Excellent review Ruby! Interesting album...love the female vocals! I am also a fan of Jack's! He has that I don't give a crap when he plays music, take it or leave it attitude! Black and The World are awesome! I noticed that Danger Mouse released an album with excerpts of instrumentals from The Beatles White album...a definite listen for me!mile:
Thanks SteveO and CH. Actually, Jack Whiteâs music is not much to my taste overall, but thereâs no doubting his ability - heâs an interesting character and he can certainly hold his own in exalted company! I was curious about Danger Mouse which is what led to this listen, as well as being now not so secretly fond of those funny old westerns!
What I find really fascinating are the sometimes weird and wonderful collaborations that happen in the world of music - Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave are a great example â the queen of pop and the prince of dirges â brilliant! Sure there are many others - Elton John and Eminem?! Thereâs such a mish-mash of personnel swapping â the whole rock genealogy gets quite confusing at times and the six degrees of separation theory suddenly makes a whole lot of sense!
