Watch: Jack White plays Whites Stripes song at SXSW rolling records shop

AUSTIN -- Hey, it wasn't the White Stripes, but it was at least one half of 'em.

Jack White performed a pair of tunes in front of his Third Man Records Rolling Record Store truck in the Texas capitol, promoting his imprint and the health of vinyl during the South By Southwest Music Conference.

The guitarist/vocalist/businessman did a take on Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away" and did a solo job on the White Stripes' "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground" on acoustic.

This marked the debut of the Rolling Record Store and the first time White has tackled a WS tune since the duo announced its split earlier this year. The yellow truck will be making stops on the streets of Austin throughout the rest of the fest; it's yet to be seen if White's playing again.
