Get Behind Me Satan contains 13 original songs, all of them written on piano, acoustic guitar and marimba. The first single is the first track off the album "Blue Orchid." Get Behind Me Satan was written, produced and mixed by Jack White.

Notes & Personnel Info |  | The White Stripes: Jack White , Meg White. | | Personnel: Jack White (vocals, guitar, piano, marimba, tambourine); Meg White (vocals, drums, triangle, percussion, bells). | | Audio Mixers: Jack White ; John Hampton. | | Recording information: Third Man Studios, Detroit, MI (02/2005). | | Between 2003's hugely successful ELEPHANT and 2005's GET BEHIND ME SATAN, White Stripes frontman Jack White produced Loretta Lynn's Grammy-winning VAN LEAR ROSE and contributed a handful of tracks to the bluegrass-heavy COLD MOUNTAIN soundtrack. While GET BEHIND ME SATAN certainly isn't a country album, it does highlight White's fascinatingly unpredictable nature. With the exception of a few songs (including the blistering single "Blue Orchid"), Jack leaves his electric six-string in the garage, opting to roam around with his acoustic guitar (as on the gentle "As Ugly As I Seem") or settle into a marimba- or piano-led melody. As always, Meg White is on hand with her wonderfully unpolished, cymbal-heavy drumming, providing the perfect foil for Jack's intense, mercurial presence. With its quirky narratives about ghosts, nurses, and Rita Hayworth, SATAN is a restless record, and the duo uses that energy to maximum effect, easily making this the White Stripes' most dynamic album to date. |

- 4 stars out of 5 - "White stays true to the band's aesthetic vision, while mapping multiple paths away from stagnation..." CMJ (No. 916, p.4)
