The White Stripes are, to some, an acquired taste. The sound is raw and sometimes grating. This is what makes it special, but to the ear that has been conditioned to enjoy the produced, catchy tunes of, say, U2 or Maroon 5, it takes some getting used to. The stripped-down music of the White Stripes creates more room for creativity and talent, and consequently, more room for crap if the talent isn’t there. Oh, but it is. As writer, vocalist, motherf***er on the guitar and star of the show, Jack fills this space with ingenuity and passion. Because of the confines they place themselves in, every note, word and beat must mean something. And, upon listening, the meaning is so clearly felt. The music of the White Stripes reflects careful craftsmanship and is emblematic of musicianship in its purest form.
