2009 collection of tracks that influenced the ever-popular Blues/Rock duo. From the Garage Rock revival of 2002 with a Blues and Roots upbringing that shaped their raucous punky style, The White Stripes" minimal approach and huge appetite for music has made them one of the biggest live attractions of this decade. Without a shadow of doubt, Meg and Jack White"s guttural Punk owes a lot to the vintage music of America, from Leadbelly onwards. Indeed, a cursory listen to any of the 1940"s Blind Willie McTell recordings in this collection give more than an indication of where Jack White was coming from in both vocal delivery and musical texture. 22 tracks. Complete.
