The White Stripes – The White Stripes Greatest Hits
Legacy Records
The first-ever official anthology of recordings from the iconic rock duo, Jack and Meg White, is an essential career-spanning collection highlighting 26 previously released songs.
From late Nineties flashes of brilliance through early 2000s underground anthems, masterful MTV Moon Man moments, Grammy-grabbing greatness, and worldwide stadium chants, the songs here are as wide-ranging as you can imagine. In an era of streaming where the idea of a “Greatest Hits” album may seem irrelevant that an act’s most streamed songs are considered their de facto “hits” we wholeheartedly believe that great bands deserve “Greatest Hits” and that a large part of Third Man Records and The White Stripes’ successes have been built on zigging when the rest of the music business is zagging.
Thus, for a great band with great fans, a greatest hits compilation for The White Stripes is not only appropriate, but absolutely necessary.
Tracks include: Look Me Over Closely, Lafayette Blues, Black Jack Davey.

Anti/Epitaph Records
Calexico announces its first ever holiday album, “Seasonal Shift,” a collection of songs with a mix of covers and originals. The album’s first track “Hear The Bells” is streaming everywhere. Joey Burns said, “When writing songs for a seasonal album, I wanted to include some of the aspects of celebrations and traditions observed in Tucson around early November. This song is about holding time and space for memories. We had a blast making ‘Season Shift,’ sending tracks back-and-forth with friends and band members stretching from The States to Europe, Mexico and Africa.
“It truly is a celebration of diversity and coming together, something that’s been constant with Calexico.”
