jack white

his bravest solo output by a mile, this is guaranteed to stimulate debate – an eccentric fusion of r&b, hip hop & jazz through to electronica & funk-metal; those who can get their heads around it will likely cherish it above its two predecessors. White exclusively used the same kind of gear he had when he was 15 years old (a quarter-inch four-track tape recorder, a simple mixer, & the most basic of instrumentation). The album explores a remarkable range of sonic terrain - crunching rock 'n' roll, electro & hard funk, proto punk, hip hop, gospel blues, & country - all remapped & born anew to fit White's matchless vision & sense of restless experimentation. “For his third solo album, Jack White, the mad scientist of rock, got out of his comfort zone. Mind you, his comfort zone would make a lot of musicians go insane” – Washington post.
