Ball & Biscuit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
``Ball & Biscuit´´ is a song by The White Stripes which is featured on the Elephant album.
Running at 7 minutes and 17 seconds in length, the song is mainly a blues jam where Jack White makes heavy use of an octave pedal and the song's main feature is the three guitar solos, obviously put there to demonstrate Jack White's skills.
Ball & Biscuit starts out with a bluesy guitar riff, and Meg White keeping a simple pace on the drums. Slurry, spoken vocals are introduced to us soon after. The lyrics show an arrogance, with lines like 'It's quite possible that I'm your third man girl, but it's a fact that I'm the seventh son' and 'Right now you could care less about me, but soon enough you will care by the time I'm done'. The guitar solos make a lot of use of an octave pedal, giving unnaturally high tones, and a lot of fuzz is created in the background riff.
