JACK WHITE!!!!
I love the way jack white thinks
I love how he is constantly building a character
living a story
each album is packed with stories.
I love the ecclectic mixture
he pulls from just the right genres and historical goodies

Loved that it had both of my main heritages

There were bagpipes and bull scenes (Conquest)
I was fully influenced by both parts of my ancestry and visited both countried over that summer

Recently (especially last year) I was heavily influenced by this
