they did a cover of jolene, dolly parton song. is that what youre thinkin of?

You probably don't wanna hear me say this but I'll take a stab at it.

I usually don't watch the news adn i rarely read the 'news' that appears in the paper. Unless reading the comics and the horoscope counts.
Nonetheless to get to the point I'm pretty sure if such a thing was true you could find out at an official website of theirs if you really wanted to know.

And if you're a fan of the White Stripes you should probaly stop reading.
The White Stripes couldn't make money as a punk band, a emo band, what in tarnation makes you think they'll have success as a freaking country band?
Even if they do split up this means that well have two more suckey groups in the music industry.
And I feel so sad for the coutny music indutry already. And I feel wors cause I atcually like some country music. Like LeeAnn Womack, Faith hill and that's about it. (If LeeAnn Rimes counts as country then I like her too)

I need a nutter butter now. I swear I'm about to die if i don't get a powerade or something.
Peace out.

patty parton they both begin with P but yeah thats hwat i was thinking of.

^^ the stripes never tried to be punk nor emo, sorry i couldnt let that one slide without comment. i honestly dont hold any grudge against them whatsoever, i just dont listen to their music.

The White Stripes have always been an alt. country or a country/rock band, with a bit of blues mixed in. I don't see what the fuss is about, it probably won't even change their sound that much.

And Loretta Lynn is a beautiful singer/songwriter so good on Jack White for touring with her.

But they've made tons of money. They're rolling in it. And they're more blues than anything else.

Whites Stripes Rock!!

but it wouldn't surprise me if they did switch to country, they can do it well

I`d love it if they made a country album & alienated most of their fan base.

More bands should take risks like that , besides like Jane said they`ve always had that element to their music , I much preferred their earlier more bluesy stuff.
