Among the vintage radically upholstered by the early White Stripes, few stood out as strikingly as Death Letter Blues: a frenzied, virtuosic highlight of many Stripes gigs, as well as their second album, 2000's De Stijl. House worked as a railway porter before his rediscovery in the 1960s, and Death Letter drew on one of his earliest songs, My Black Mama Part 2, that he recorded for Paramount in 1930. View wiki
