"It all comes down to opinion"... true-story!

Did you check out the 'Jolene' cover? Their non-linear, bluesy cover vs. Dolly's lock-step original is maybe a good example of whats cool about Meg and Jack White's stuttery drums-guitar-vocals minimalism.

I play the drums, and have in the last 4 or 5 years really learned an appreciation for drummer-as-compliment to the tone of the rest of the band. This is opposed to where my first love of the drums came from (metal and funk music, where the drums are very often the star).

I was thinking about this a week ago listening to an Interpol album. Their drummer is great, and has some interesting and difficult stuff, but never seems showy or draws much attention to himself.


In reply to this comment by JAPR:
(No worries about being too surly, we're all defensive about the music we like. )

I understand the premise of the White Stripes, but I feel as though there are just so many better bands (to me) in the same general sound area, mainly the originals. Jack has some pretty good guitaring skills, there's no denying his ability to write catchy riffs. I personally don't enjoy his voice, and the overly simple drumming just makes it even harder for me to enjoy them. I'm not a drummer myself, but even the least skilled drummers I know of in the bands that I listen to have far more variety of style and a higher skill level than she does. I didn't really mean to say that she needed to be "professional," just that the lack of variety in the rhythm drags down the song, in my opinion.

It all comes down to opinion, in the end, really. Musical quality is entirely subjective and is based only off of how much the individual listener enjoys it.

Oh, by the way, I did watch the entire clip, I just didn't enjoy it quite enough for an upvote.

oh, and I also addressed the "Meg sucks/I can play drums better!" comments directly on an old post, http://www.videosift.com/video/White-Stripes-Jolene-Dolly-Parton-cover-live-on-Conan

Toe-shoes are the worst enemy of a female's foot-like smoking a pack a day and ignoring the damage, I have seen bunions the size of walnuts, and heard tomes from the book of woe is my feet, from many a dancer, professional, AND, adults whose parents sent them to Dolly Dinkle's Toe-shoe Torture center, after school.

Best thing you can do for your foot, is get a shoe made for YOUR FOOT! Otherwise, keep it flexible, and uncovered as much as possible.....go barefoot, and get some callous......treat yer feet to soothing soaks, and a variety of surfaces....millions of nerves meet up in yer feet, and affect numerous systems in the entire body-regular stimulation by way of massage is the best....

Oh, and Dolly has a great voice too. S'pose I should have mentioned that first.

When I was a young thing, I was contemptuous of Dolly, but I learned better. One of the things I appreciated about her was learning that she very purposely got that LOOK she has that involves a wig and a very particular kind of clothing. She did that so she could be more-or-less unrecognizable when she wanted to go out and be treated as a normal person. Her husband is extremely publicity shy, so it was important to her to be able to go places with him without being swamped.

This is a truely amazing cover. I love stuff like this. I wonder if there is a video for Dolly Parton's cover of Stairway to Heaven....

no go.

Anyway, yeah, this is right up there with that one, and Johnathon Coulton's Baby Got Back. Great find!

what on earth could be confusing about the mother knowing her daughters answer so well that she herself is mouthing it ? like dolly parton in the movie 9-5, she knew her and everyone elses lines so well that you can see her mouthing other peoples lines while they talk.

Firefly: indeed that is why it's my fav too! This intro and Dolly Madison ads were the herald of the holiday season.

I had just turned 5 when this came out, and I assumed that Kenny and Dolly were married because of the way they sung to each other
