Sounds promising, should be a great tour as well. Saw Brendan Benson live on Monday past - great show. Still not managed to catch White Stripes live yet though.

nice of him to praise his own record. very original.

he sure is humble:
Speaking exclusively to NME.COM in Detroit, Benson said of the collaboration: “It’s a fucking brilliant record. It’s really, really good. A few people who have heard it are really raving about it. Maybe it’s even better than I thought. A guy the other day said that he had heard Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ four months before it came out and as he was listening to this record he said: ‘this feels just like that’. And that’s how it feels for me.”

"JACK WHITE’s friend and collaborator BRENDAN BENSON has revealed that the pair have recorded an album together that has been compared to NIRVANA’s classic ‘NEVERMIND’."
I highly fucking doubt that - seeing as Jack White is a telentless gimp

now now jevad.
I think he has talent and I think he's been a refreshing sound in music the past few years. Seriously, did you really ever think that music like that would catch on with a somewhat mainstream appeal? The lyrics are great and from a guitar standpoint I wish I could play bluesy solos like that.

I really dig White Blood Cells... but i kinda think Elephant wasnt half as good.
The Loretta Lynn album is ace tho.
The Stripes can tear shit up in concert, I enjoyed my experience... especially watching Meg "bounce around" on drums.
oh my.

That's some vehement hatred. Is it some sort of injustive that the White Stripes make music that people/critics like?
- jevad0
I'm not saying you are all wrong for liking them - I just can't stand them...

jack white stole jevad's girlfriend back in the 4th grade.
he's never gotten over it.
- unfittoprint0
personally, methinks they're the only ones that can make a Dolly Parton song sound good.

You know that now the White Stripes are big and famous it's cool not to like them. If not liking them becomes too popular people will think it's cool to like them again, hence making them uncool. Fuck I'm getting a headache.
;P

white stripes are one of the more original bands around atm,
wham, ahaha
..and white stripes are excellent live, should be decent.

I think the White Stripes are a great band, unfortunately they get a bad rep because people judge them based on the two or three songs they hear on the radio or on tv. Dive alittle deeper and actually look at some of the music, especially their older stuff off of The White Stripes or De Stijl, they have some really great blues songs. Plus, given the music industry today I think any band that can make listeners dig a Son House song deserve some props.
