THE WHITE STRIPES
The White Stripes is the debut studio album by American alternative rock duo The White Stripes, released on June 15, 1999. The album was produced by Jim Diamond and vocalist/guitarist Jack White, recorded in January 1999 at Ghetto Recorders and Third Man Studios in Detroit. White dedicated the album to deceased blues musician Son House. (More from Wikipedia)
Guitarist Aubrey Nehring is also the vocalist for the Invisible Eyes; he reminds me of Jack White on some of the tracks on the first White Stripes album, The White Stripes such as "The Big Three Killed My Baby" and their cover of "St. James Infirmary Blues".

With all of that as background, the first hint that garage rock might at long last find widespread appeal came with the 1998 release of the first album, The White Stripes by the rock duo the White Stripes. At first guitarist and vocalist Jack White and drummer Meg White pretended to be brother and sister (they were actually previously married; the members of the new wave band Eurythmics, Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart were also former lovers), causing Rolling Stone magazine to run a tongue-in-cheek cover story on the band: "The White Stripes: The New Carpenters?"

Johnny Walker played slide guitar on two tracks on the White Stripes’ debut album, The White Stripes (1999): "Suzy Lee" and "I Fought Piranhas". Walker is also credited with teaching Jack White how to play slide guitar.
