White Stripes - Sweethearts of the Blues from Backbeat tells the tale of the Detroit duo who shook up the music world with their candy-colored, gothic-coated world of melody, rhythm and storytelling. These unlikely-looking saviors reinvigorated the blues and blues-rock for a new generation. Writer Denise Sullivan relates The White Stripes' story with a keen eye for detail, a music lover's ear for influences and references, a fan's appreciation of the layers and subtleties, and a journalist's nose for a good story, with all its twists and curves, half-truths, and elaborate theories. Includes dozens of rare photographs, a full discography, and a song concordance. 7-1/4" x 9-1/4", 176 pages
