White Stripes' Black Jack Davey

Posted by Larry Karnowski at March 5, 2004 4:56 PM

So I highly recommend spending the $0.99 to pick up the White Stripes' new exclusive song on the iTMS, Black Jack Davey. It succinctly combines both old English ballad material with a kick-ass guitar groove. Listen to it loud, and ponder its similarities to Fairport Convention's Matty Groves, which is also akin to a much older English ballad, Fair Margaret and Sweet William (from Tim O'Brien's Songs from the Mountain) or also known as Lady Margaret (from the Cold Mountain soundtrack).

Did I mention to listen to it LOUD? Cause it frickin' rocks.
