It's a request that will likely live on in "American Pickers" infamy as Jack White and his music buddy, Bill Skibbe, ask Mike Wolfe to turn an old mobile recording truck into a "studio on wheels." "We want to bring it back to life," White said to the "American Pickers" crew in the new episode. "We want to make it a studio on wheels again."
Danielle Colby, who was astonished by the legacy of the mobile recording truck, told White, "This is incredible. We're reviving some serious music history here." In the official episode description, History describes White's newly found vehicle as a "historic one-of-a-kind recording trailer that's been AWOL for decades."
The former "White Stripes" frontman's two-episode run for "American Pickers" marks the second time he's appeared on the long-running reality series. In 2012, White was able to score a deal for a taxidermy elephant head that cost American Pickers $9,500 and several other peculiar items through trades and side purchases. "Word around town," Danielle said during the elephant head episode, "is that Jack White collects crazy stuff." Now, it seems like he is also in the business of restoring it.
