The White Stripes are set to follow-up 2005’s Get Behind Me Satan with 13 songs recorded in Nashville, TN collectively – and ill-advisedly – known as Icky Thump. I’ve never understood why an album’s tracklist is newsworthy. Who cares what the songs are called? Is it just a matter of checking to see if your torrent download matches the actual songlist? If so, then at least its utilitarian on some level:
01 Icky Thump
02 You Don’t Know What Love Is
03 300 MPH Torrential Outpour Blues
04 Conquest
05 Bone Broke
06 Prickly Thorn, But Sweetly Worn
07 St. Andrew (This Battle Is in the Air)
08 Little Cream Soda
09 Rag and Bone
10 I’m Slowly Turning Into You
11 A Martyr for My Love for You
12 Catch Hell Blues
13 Effect and Cause
The album will be out on the Warner Bros. imprint via Jack White’s Third Man label in June.
