Flat Duo Jets - White Trees (CD)

Flat Duo Jets: White Trees [2024 Remaster] Fronted by the late Dex Romweber. The duo's fourth album was the first album of all original material. Produced by Caleb Southern, White Trees is a Jets' masterpiece that proved that Romweber could diversify his band's material without losing his recklessness and urgency. Dex passed away earlier this year on February 16th and this reissue is dedicated to his memory and legacy. Jack White from the White Stripes has called Dex and the Flat Duo Jets a major influence when starting out. White declared that seeing the Jets for the first time "opened up a whole new inspiration for me about the guitar." And he was downright effusive in the 2006 cult-classic Romweber documentary "Two Headed Cow", calling Romweber "a huge influence on my music... one of the best-kept secrets of the rock & roll underground." In 2009, White recorded a seven-inch with Romweber, and in 2011 he reissued the Jets' long-out-of-print 1991 album Go Go Harlem Baby on his Third Man Records imprint. "[White Trees] by North Carolina's Jets is a tarnished neo-rockabilly gem. Dexter Romweber's battered honk is the perfect voice to wrap around these twisted tales about Charlie Dick (Patsy Cline's hubby), UFOs, and dining with Van Gogh
