In which the Curmudgeons examine the career and the great music of rock 'n' roll's best "brother and sister" act. Okay, so they were really ex-husband and ex-wife, but hammy mythos was small part of what made The White Stripes so compelling. That, and their incredible ability to deconstruct and celebrate the blues, country and folk with explosive guitar and simple drums while also writing and recording some of the most innovative songs of their era. We discuss the music and their six albums in detail.

Personal Trainer, "Big Love Blanket"
Jockstrap, "Greatest Hits"
