The British Invasion strikes Detroit! This week we discuss the musical influence and connectivity between Jack White and the two biggest bands of modern rock'n'roll: The Rolling Stones and The Beatles. While the delta blues singers of the 30's and the garage punkers of the 80's may have had a more direct influence of his sound and aesthetic, there's no doubt that Jack is the torch-bearer for the acts that defined the genre. The "old guard" was quick to embrace The White stripes as a continuation of a legacy that kicked into high gear when Britain's own John, Paul, George and Ringo touched down in New York City one chilly February morning in 1964, igniting a mania that lives on to this day. We explore the many connections between Jack and these two acts, and have enlisted some help in the process! That's right, this week is our very first PODCAST CROSSOVER as we sit down for an extended chat with the "Take it Away" podcast's Ryan Brady to talk Jack White, The Beatles, and just how many Denny Laine puns we can make in 50 minutes. So get some satisfaction and all the love you'll need this week with us -- we hope you will enjoy the show!
