Watch: Jack White & Wanda Jackson Cover Bob Dylan

As promised, the new video for Wanda Jackson and Jack White’s take on Bob Dylan’s 2006 Modern Times opener, “Thunder on the Mountain,” arrived this morning. In addition to sprucing up the arrangement with horns and scorching guitar solos, they also made one key lyrical change, replacing Dylan’s “thinkin’ about Alicia Keys” shout-out: “Jerry Lee fit right in there,” Jackson told Spinner, pointing out earlier that Dylan himself recommended the cover to White. Stream the full record here and enjoy the video, filmed at a record plant where they were pressing vinyl copies of the LP, above.

The Raconteurs - “Old Enough”

Jack White’s original side project, The Raconteurs are two records deep into a rocking career. Their latest record Consolers of the Lonely hit shelves only a week after White announced that it had been finished, gaining press buzz in the meantime. The music, however, speaks for itself, particularly with this song, which features an intro sung by White’s cohort and fellow Detroit native Brendan Benson. You might have heard the bluegrass version featuring Ricky Skaggs and Ashley Monroe: check out a video of that performance here.
