The White Stripes “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground”

The White Stripes “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground” b/w “Stop Breaking Down (live at the BBC studios)” 2001, 2012 red vinyl reissue on Third Man Records. “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground” appears on The White Stripes third studio album White Blood Cells, charting at #25 on the UK singles chart and #19 on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart. “Stop Breaking Down” is a blues-legend Robert Johnson cover: 1930′s Delta blues at its grittiest, garagey-est interpretation. We picked up this little gem when the Third Man  Rolling Record Store stopped by Milwaukee earlier this year.
