Prickly Thorn, But Sweetly Worn = A+
Wow! I love this song. Travelling up to Detroit recently I was listening to several Detroit-based artists. One was the White Stripes and their CD Icky Thump. I got to song six, and got cold chills. The beat and Meg's drumming really moves me on this track. Jack's delivery of the lyrics reminds me of Gordon Lightfoot's on The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Prickly Thorn is a Scottish influeced tune complete with bagpipes, which for many seems to be either love or hate. In this tune they don't bother me. Frankly I can understand why people don't like them.
Anyway, I'm in love with this song. About a minute in Meg adds another drum, and that's when I got cold chills.
