The Party Ain’t Over
Click to listen to “Thunder On The Mountain”
Jack White’s collaboration with rock’s original trouble girl is at once reverent and uproarious. At 73, Jackson can still summon the irascible Okie pip of Fifties rockabilly hits like “Fujiyama Mama,” and White convenes a roots band with a killer horn section. The song selection is superb: rollicking versions of Eddie Cochran and Little Richard songs, calypso standards, a gusty reimagining of Bob Dylan’s “Thunder on the Mountain.” Jackson’s not content to just remake the greats: Her slaying of Amy Winehouse’s “You Know I’m No Good” is a master class for her wild-child inheritors.
