Lightly toasted with a bluesy after taste

I think I'm verging on a taste change in my music slection. I went through the hard hair band phase. Did the grunge. Been on the alternative wave for a while. Lately I've been switching around to my bluesy favorites.

Enter Jack White....

Apparently Jack has started yet another new band, The Dead Weather. Par for course, it kicks ass. The Raconteurs has been an excellent addition to my catalog. The White Stripes never fail to please. This new gig is a mix of the Raconteurs, White Stripes and Queens of the Stone Age. The lead singer of Queens is also frontman for Eagles of Death Metal which is a lot of fun.

I see this trend emerging ... great artists who collaborate with other greats to create a music for the sheer joy of creating music. Maybe we'll see the end of the corporate band and find the perfect niche of music for music's sake.
Maybe. Until then, at least I have Jack.
