The White Stripes Rock!

Every now and then, I feel compelled to pass along a YouTube clip.

This one is of The White Strips, a killer two-member band that includes Jack White, one of the most gifted guitarists to come along in a very long time. The other member is the drummer, Meg, his ex-wife of all things. Together, they sound like a monster band somehow.

Jack White somehow manages to simultaneously channel Jimmy Page and Robert Plant as well as myriad old and new influences.

Check this out:

It's a revved-up Delta blues song with a wicked slide, and it takes crazy turns into punk rock.

I could listen to that all day.
