“It’s beautiful,” he said. “The song is only a minute and 47 seconds long or something — that’s how long ‘Fell in Love With a Girl’ was. People said, ‘They’re not going to play that on radio.’ But it worked, and it’s great that it’s happening again.”

That guy has a very cool voice. The more he makes it his own, the better.

And then you’ve got Royal Blood, another really good two-piece band that’s just badass.

I love what they’re doing. The first time I saw them was on Saturday Night Live. And I thought ‘Oh, that’s really great. Another really cool two-piece band that can do something really powerful.

They only released one album, 1966's Black Monk Time. But that was enough to hook White, who calls them "anti-Beatles" and says of their songcraft, "Their melodies were pop-destructive and must be played to your younger brother."

White oversaw Wanda Jackson's 2011 album The Party Ain't Over, surrounding the raspy voice of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer with some rocked-up bombast. The result got Jackson, "the Queen of Rockabilly,"

It’s just brilliant to see how far things have gone in that sense, and how cool it is for people to talk about these moments and say, ‘Wow, check this out.’”
