Customer Reviews 3rd Age Review Jack White now breathes the rare air of living legend as he continues to develop at light speed. This is the Blue Orchid single with 3 tracks, including the 2 non-album releases: Who's A Big Baby? and Though I Hear You Calling I Will Not Answer. This is nothing less than the leading edge of the 3rd age of rock and roll as Jack continues to lead the way for what will we will look back on as the great ones of the era. . . . Kings Of Leon, Razorlight, and those that follow. The Blue Orchid singles have been released as follows: Blue Orchid US CD Single (2005 May 31) . . . . . Blue Orchid . . . . .

You've Got Her In Your Pocket (Live in Belfast). Be Weary! Here's my thoughts on the songs included on this version (from a review I sent to a friend of mine): "Who's A Big Baby?" - I was geeked b/c I figured, I'd now have a proper Meg track to makeup for the creepy, brief "Passive Manipulation" (from the new album). First, if you're in the States, seek out the domestic version of the single it has the two tracks from this disc plus another Jack number. This was not to be. The track is a B-side to the new album in every sense, read this as: Weird, unexpected and featuring a marimba. Meg's "vocals" are digitized and creepy. They "lyrics" seem to chiefly consist of "Who's a big baby?", "Waaahhh!!!", and "I want my Mommy!" Utter bollocks. I'm shuddering as I listen to it. "You've Got Her In Your Pocket (Live)" Northern Ireland August 25th, 2004 - The live version of Pocket is wonderful and a very welcome breath of fresh air after all that Satan experimentation! Jack does a great job playing this one live. . . You can see a complete list of all The White Stripes discography, or go back to the The White Stripes tabs
