Yeah, Jack is a gift to the world of rock and roots music. He’s an archivist, producer, arranger and here, a supporter of older performers. He’s kind of an old soul I think.

What I really like about Jack White; is that he always focuses on making sure that the composition of a piece works well for what it’s supposed to for it’s creative execution of direction and not care about being in the spot-light; rather, being an excellent backing support member. The guy is a true artist and musician.

Of _course_ Jack is a showman...he's fucking unbelievable at it. But he also, knows how to assert himself within music itself. He knows when to push and when to pull. And this performance exemplifies that skill Jack has obviously honed...because it's his life's passion. If only any of us could be that lucky. And yeah...this whole video is killer all around...not just for Jack, but for the entire band, and equally to Wanda alone. If you just released this song, without the video, a _lot_ of people would think it was some truly cool new artist. Her voice is cutting and haunting and sarcastic and sincere all at once. I love it.

And, enough of this crap, Jack and Wanda are both legends in their own right, and they were clearly honored to be performing with each other.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, class of 2009. I saw Wanda with a small combo in a little club in the late 80s which would have put her in her 50s. She blew the roof off. Many singers cannot blast rockabilly vocals like that when they're 20, much less anytime thereafter. She was the only woman there when Rockabilly broke out in the 50s and helped pour the foundation for women in rock. Please show some respect for the Queen of Rockabilly or some man might tell you or your sister to take your/her mountain of talent and go home to the kitchen.
