WHITE STRIPES / VARIOUS ARTISTS The Roots Of (2009 UK 22-track CD album - From the garage rock revival of 2002 with a blues and roots upbringing that shaped their raucous punky style, The White Stripes minimal approach and huge appetite for musichas made them one of the biggest live attractions of this decade and it's there that they regularly rework their favourite blues standards. The White Stripes' attention to detail, their lo-fi recordings at Toe Rag Studios with authentic valveequipment and their splendid choice of songs have made them unique in contemporary rock music. This album is a testament to the people who inspired them.)
