Released Aug. 20th:
Yes, the very song Pokey played on his LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN last month. Pack up your portable record player and sit by the Ohio River blasting this gem of a tribute to living in the good ol” Midwest, featuring super snazzy artwork, and non-album B Side “St. Louis Crawl.” Sitting at the crossroads of early jazz, country blues and western swing, these two homegrown tracks are enough to make any damn yankee, mountain man or California dream reconsider their stomping grounds.

The White Stripes – Elephant Reissue LP
This is the official release date for the long-awaited reissue of The White Stripes fourth album and major label debut.

The discs come housed in a double-gatefold sleeve, with printed inner sleeves and an MP3 download card. This album dedicated to the death of the sweetheart is still as poignant today as when it was originally released 10 years ago.
