Elephant

White Blood Cells was followed up in 2003, by the commercially and critically successful Elephant . The critic at AllMusic wrote that the album “sounds even more pissed-off, paranoid and stunning than its predecessor … darker and more difficult than White Blood Cells “. The album’s first single, ” Seven Nation Army “, became the band’s signature song, reaching number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart for three weeks, winning the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Rock Song , and becoming an international sporting and protest anthem. Rumors began to circulate in 2003 that White had collaborated with Electric Six for their song ” Danger! High Voltage “. He and the Electric Six both denied this, and the vocal work was credited officially to John S O’Leary. Later, Dick Valentine and Cory Martin (Electric Six band members) said White was involved but not paid. Also in 2003, White played guitar and performed backing vocals on the title track of British musician, DJ and producer Mark Ronson ‘s debut album Here Comes the Fuzz featuring Freeway and Nikka Costa on vocals. White worked with Loretta Lynn on her 2004 album Van Lear Rose , which he produced and performed on. The album was a critical and commercial success.
