Jack White’s new PBS docuseries, American Epic, has already proved to be full of amazing performances and killer collaborations, with artists like Nas and Alabama Shakes. In the latest clip from the series, Elton John sits down at the piano, with White beside him on electric guitar, for a new blues song called “Two Fingers of Whiskey.”
Incredibly, John composes the song live on camera, using lyrics that his longtime writing partner, Bernie Taupin, has just handed him. White adds accompaniment and the two press the tune direct to wax, recording in a way no artist has in 90 years.
