OAK RIDGE BOYS COVER WHITE STRIPES

The White Stripes

This is awesome. The Oak Ridge Boys are one of the most respected country groups of all The Oak Ridge Boystime, and now they’re in their late 60s - a perfect time to take a chance and cover one of the most popular rock bands of the 21st century.

The Oak Ridge Boys now own the rights to the best White Stripes cover you’ll ever hear - and that’s including Joss Stone’s 2003 cover of “Fell In Love with a Boy”, which was quite overhyped.

“Seven Nation Army is a song with an incredible bassline and crushing vocals, and The Oak Ridge Boys nailed it.

The first video is The Oak Ridge Boys cover

The second video is the original, recorded by The White Stripes

The song will be featured on their new album, The Boys Are Back, set to release this month.
