I finally got my hands on a copy of Icky Thump, and like all White Stripes records, there are songs that I will probably never listen to again, and some that I love. Jack White is best at his weirdest because he is willing to go in directions that no one else will go.
During my first few listens, my two faves are Conquest and Rag and Bone. Conquest is a cover and a brave one indeed, made to be sung by someone with probably more range, but Jack makes it his own. Rag and Bone is by far my favorite because it reminds me of a Tennessee Williams play. It’s very Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. I LOVE it! --J
