Two for the price of One- Loretta Lynn and Jack White "Portland, Oregon"

I was looking for a song by Loretta Lynn called "The Pill" and stumbled on this gem instead.

I am amazed.

It starts with this Das Boot sonar Ping and transforms into a haunting surfin' safari while the visuals ramp up the tension with slow pushes on Jack White and Loretta Lynn, inter cut with gritty 16 MM footage of an American city.

At about a minute in, there is a break into a NEU! style jam session, and then bam, 180, it becomes a white stripes song, like it was the new James Bond theme.

It gets happy after that, but not in a treacle way.

Let's talk about the sparkle Jean Benet pagent outfit Loretta is wearing at the dive bar set. Oops, too late, I am distracted by the facelift.




Best thing I have seen all week.
