Music News: Jack White Goes Solo


By Scott Jeffrey

The internet is buzzing today, Jack White, front man for The White Stripes, head of Third Man Records and associated with such acts as The Dead Weather and The Raconteurs, has finally decided to bless us with a solo album.

Considering just about everything this man touches is gold, this is very exciting news. Exciting enough that people have begun to even do uke covers of it already.

So I woke up this morning and got very excited when I saw Jack’s name trending on twitter. I had my first listen of Love Interruption off of the preview 7” that third man is releasing today for the album entitled Blunderbuss which is slated to release on April 23. This leaves us with a long time to wait.

The song is short and sweet. It has his sound captured in a personal way, like your sitting in in the same room. An acoustic guitar playing simple chords, a bluesy organ and female backing vocals build this charming track. The lyrics are very well crafted and soulful, if this is any indication of what is to come or what White has been holding onto, we are all in for quite a treat.
