The White Stripes: Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground

by Adie Nunn
In a previous life, Jack White was a black blues man in the 1930s. The past two singles from 'White Blood Cells' have showcased two different sides to the band - an acoustic up-beat stomper and, um, electric up-beat stomper. 'Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground' showcases the shit side to the band, more like 'Dead Wood and Dirty Guitar', all wobbly vocals and no tune. Ignore this. It is a blip. Jack gets to showoff some nice slide guitar on 'Suzy Lee' and gets in another predictable cover version, 'Stop Breaking Down' (jesus.. he sounds like Robert Plant on this). Both these tracks were previously broadcast on the Evening Session, so there's not much on this single for the White Stripes diehard fan. Personally, I would like to see them cover something by S Club Juniors or 2 Unlimited.

White Stripes - Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground

I really like this song. Its got a wicked riff, and is just very very cool. Personally, I'd like them to cover something by M People. Moving On Up (if that's what its called) for example.

The White Stripes - Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground

I personlally think that "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground" is one of the White Stripes' best songs and it is awesome the acoustics of your colan must be bad,since you've got your head up your ass and all.

Or maybe just a different opinion to yours.

Just a thought...

Re: The White Stripes - Dead Leaves And The Dirty

My opinion is not an opinion, but fact you sir (or ma'am) shall not doubt me.

Re: The White Stripes - Dead Leaves And The Dirty

Whilst it is a very good track, why did they go and do 'There's No Home For You Here'? It is an absolute rip off of 'Dead Leaves....' and mostly dissapointing
