Jack White

In September 2002, Jack White was deep in the throes of The White Stripes' rise to iconic status. Just a few months prior, they released "White Blood Cells," a pivotal album that catapulted the duo into the indie rock spotlight. This live recording, 'Stop Breaking Down,' captures their raw energy and authenticity during a crucial point in their career. It's fascinating to think how Jack, alongside Meg White, blended garage rock with bluesy undertones, setting trends that would influence countless artists. Interestingly, this BBC session reflects their unpolished sound and fierce creativity, cementing their legacy even further. Just hearing Jack’s guitar riffs and those driving beats evokes the spirit of an era that reshaped rock music.
