i wouldn't go and say that Jack is a blues man, but he certainly is influenced deeply by the blues. Basically he takes the blues and turns it into rock an roll. I like his stuff but not enough to go out a buy his records. Quite frankly after about ten minutes of listening to his music I am thoroughly irritated. However I do have respect for what he has done musically. And I am also sure that jack doesn't give a rats ass what we think, the SOB is sitting on a mountain of money.
@Sybotica Plenty of people fingerpick the blues...they just dont get famous at this level because the market for that kind of music is very small compared to pop-oriented rock. There are purists out there, but as usual, the market is small. Most guys know for those blues died or turned 40 before they were really famous or even known. How many modern finger-picking blues artists do you support and buy music from? I suspect very few if any.
@Sybotica SO why did you say no one does it? Apparently you know people personally who do, which is cool. Get some vids up here so the rest of us can see. If you dont like where music is, put out stuff you do like!
@scottelliottmusic search for any variation on "blind boy chocolate and the milk sheiks" on youtube. we're not superb musicians or anything, but i love what we do and i never feel compromised playing on the street. It's a pretty honest living and a pretty honest form for entertaining.
@Sybotica I agree with you that street playing is very honest....To me its the modern equivalent to wandering minstrels. A necessary gem in society that reminds us that there are many ways to live a life. A kid may think a suit is the only way to go until he/she meets or sees someone living another type of life. Then whole worlds can open up! I'll check out your stuff. Keep the dream going!
Patrick Keeler is fucking driving this song... most of the other versions of this song... it's jack's water spicket explosion solos, and the main riff so clean with that distinctive tone distinction, but ... PK kept this one together.
jack white only has bands so he can play the blues in those bands.. i.e. white stripes. all his live shows he covers blues songs. i'm pretty thats all he knows - like its his passion or whatever
for those of you who want to learn it. its a basic 145 blues in a or a flat ( dont remember if my guitar was tuned a half step down or not ) a,d,e with fills in between every chord
charlie Jordan song. Mr bobby D had this song on compilation album while of. The original version that is. Jack white is on his radio show, Theme Time Radio, every now and then. Must be friends, and probably knows this from Dylan. The blues is the blues.
@welovethedinosaurs Yeah, hes the only real blues player in the mainstream, at least in his generation of musicians. Some people use blues stylings, but he is driven by that ragged blues energy. I guess hes more in the Chicago Blues school, if you want to get specific, but he does his own thing (which is the point of the blues! Do it your way!)
@welovethedinosaurs I've got to agree, even B.B. King, when asked about it said you don't got to be a mud farmer in mississipi to be blues, it's universal. Jack's authentic... his favorite record is Grinnin' in your Face for god's sake. Everyone can translate their favorites the way they feel correct... the stones did it, zeppelin definitely did it, Crossroads... is another great example of Clapton doing it.... I can understand if it's not some peoples favorite, but don't hate, it's useless.
@JDMUHR wait wait wait. did you say a cover without any chordal or melodic relationship to the original. are you retarded. its a fucking cover. they can make it however the hell they want
think the one at bonaroo was slightly better thoughh. its weird when jack goes for it, pat seems not to so much, and when pat is in the zone like at this performance jack doesnt quite so much
