What do you get when you mix the most popular artist of today and one from the past?  We are hoping for a great CD!  For those of you who remember Coal Miner's Daughter with Siddy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones or Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn singing and flirting... Meet the next generation.  Although Doo Lynn died in 1996 Loreta is still around and going strong.  She has not had an album since the 80s so this is long overdue.  To have Jack and Meg White playing and producing the new CD is a crossover if there has ever been one.  (CONTINUED BELOW)

On the CD coming out there is a duet with Jack White called, "Portland, Oregon".  It has overlays of loud, indie-rock reverb and has already created a buzz from Entertainment Weekly Magazine. 
 
For those of you who don't know who these artists are we will link them on the ROCK TIMELINE and here to sites that have bios and songs.  The White Stripes were an extrememly popular band last year, and this magazine's favorite.  Their album was gritty and had everything that good rock stands for.  It was also the only album we have heard in the past several years that is great all the way through.  Something that hasn't been seen since the Beatles or Doors of Classic Rock.
 
Loretta explains everything on her website, which you can click to below or here.  She has written 13 original songs that were played with the White Stripes.  She tells on her site about when Meg and Jack visited her and cooked together.  Jack, 28 years old, and Loretta, 69 years young, hit it off right away.  The White Stripes covered Lynn's tune X-Rated on an album in 2001.  From there they performed together which led to the new album coming.
 
YES to the return of the past!  Yes to the Future!  Maybe Rock is not dead?  Jack White is a true FOUNTAINHEAD for what he has done!  I will have an entire article on him soon!  Check out his website and a Loretta Lynn site below.
