Meg White appears on vocals


Jack White:

    "I wrote that specifically for Meg. I wanted it [to] be half Mazzy Star and half Peggy Lee. I played it for her in my attic. Meg laughed, she liked it. That organ sound was from me lying down on the studio floor pressing the organ pedals. If you listen close you hear wood popping on the piano pedal. Toe Rag's scary to a lot of people. They don't want to be confined. But the limitations make you work."
Meg White:
    "I've been singing more live, doing backups and we do that one Loretta Lynn cover (Rated X). So, when we went in to record the album, Jack had actually written a song for me, He was like 'It's kinda like Peggy Lee Fever-esque.' I was like, 'Are you kidding? You think I can sing that?' I like it, I guess."
