Get "Elephant" if you want their most famousest stuff.  It's all good, though.

Jack White also does a couple of straight up old time country blues acts for the soundtrack to the movie "Cold Mountain."

Ah well,

cheers for the info.

Ken

Thanks lots southpaw Thats really interesting the bass strings on his guitar, never thought about it before but I bet that opens all kinds of doors to new sounds and combinations....
I noticed on the youtube video 'ball and a biscuit' he had one that I didn't recognize, the body shape kind of reminded me of one of muddy waters' old gretsch guitars, and the solo was awesome.
Thanks again,
LR

Re: About LANGUAGEHi yall I've been out for a while but I just came in and HAD to throw in my two cents on this one....
Its interesting to me how much music seems to play a role in behavior these days. I think maybe the attention shift from sound to visual brought on by MTV and etc.s (not that vudeos are the only culprit I'm sure there are plenty of other factors) has helped start an infactuation with the lifestyle and persona that music portrays, and not so much an interest in music for music's sake. Personally (and mainly simply because of the profanity used) I don't care for rap music., but the whole "Gangsta" fad is a cultural phase that has far outgrown any kind of musical movement, even to the extent that people without any real passion for rap music itself tack the gangster label to thier forehead.
  That being said, when you have a strong set of morals, and know what you believe is right and wrong, there's nothing wrong with appreciating any form of music FOR THE MUSIC'S SAKE. The difference is the T.V and radio didn't raise you, your parents did, and you have sense enough to realize a good song is still justa  good song, not neccesarily a guidebook to life.

I love playing their "hotel yorba" song. it is so easy and people that have never heard it always say it is a good tune.

I didnt realise they were once married though. I was told they were brother and sister.

Ken,
Here's a piece of an article I read;

Relationship
In 2001, proof of Jack and Meg White's 1996 marriage emerged yet they continued to insist publicly that they were brother and sister. The couple had been divorced in 2000 just before the band gained widespread attention .

In a 2005 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Jack White claimed that this deception was intended to keep the focus on the music rather than the couples' relationship:

When you see a band that is two pieces, husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, you think, "Oh, I see..." When they're brother and sister, you go, "Oh, that's interesting." You care more about the music, not the relationship -- whether they're trying to save their relationship by being in a band.

I didnt realise they were once married though. I was told they were brother and sister.
