Jack White unveiled big news about his long-awaited debut solo LP this morning: Blunderbuss arrives on April 24th via Third Man Records/Columbia, preceded by lead single “Love Interruption,” available for pre-order now and to stream below.
As the announcement notes, guest performers include the likes of Seasick Steve, Chris Thile, and Ruby Amanfu, among others. Meanwhile, Jack described his decision to finally go solo:
I’ve put off making records under my own name for a long time but these songs feel like they could only be presented under my name. These songs were written from scratch, had nothing to do with anyone or anything else but my own expression, my own colors on my own canvas.
“Love Interruption,” along with non-album cut “Machine Gun Silhouette,” hits digital stores tomorrow and on 7” vinyl February 7th. Hear it below:
Jack White: Love is Blindness (U2 Cover)
Our first taste of Q Magazine’s tribute to U2’s Achtung Baby for the 1991 LP’s 20th anniversary premiered on BBC Radio 2 moments ago in the form of “Love is Blindness,” Jack White’s take on the Daniel Lanois/Brian Eno-produced album’s atmospheric closing cut. Hear Jack unleash his raucous rendition — complete with a trademark blistering guitar solo — above.
The Black Belles Announce “Honky Tonk Horror” Single, Debut LP
Following last year’s impressive White Stripes-esque 7” and this year’s Stephen Colbert collaboration, the Black Belles are finally set to release their debut album in the form of an 11-track, Jack White-produced effort due out on Third Man Records this November. “Honky Tonk Horror,” the LP’s bewitching first single, will arrive on September 27th along with B-side “Dead Shoe,” though today you can preview Olivia Jean and co.’s new track above.
In other Third Man news, the Raconteurs made a triumphant return at the Ryman last night. Catch a glimpse of the boys back in action in this clip of “Carolina Drama.”
Lanie Lane - “Ain’t Hungry” (ft. Jack White)
Jack White injected plenty of grit into the production of this new brassy rockabilly-blues number from Australian singer-songwriter Lanie Lane, amping up the moody ’50s stomp previewed on “What Do I do” — a single from her forthcoming To The Horses LP — with raw, fuzzed-out bass, insistent drums, and a few of his trademark piercing guitar riffs. Watch the official video for “Ain’t Hungry,” half of Lane’s new Blue Series 45 for Third Man Records, above, and pick it up on vinyl or digitally today.
Lanie Lane Announces Jack White-Produced Single
Reconvening with the Raconteurs, teaming up with Stephen Colbert, throwing a divorce party, and dabbling in hip-hop hasn’t slowed down Jack White’s one-off Blue Series for Third Man Records this summer, as the next White-produced 7” single arrives on August 23 featuring two original songs — “Ain’t Hungry” and “My Man” — by Australian singer Lanie Lane. “I was so inspired by the whole process and by how raw and instinctively everything happened,” said Lane in an announcement today.
We’ll have to wait a bit to hear the so-called “fuzz bass sassed stomp number” and “wailing, waltzing lament to withheld love,” but you can get acquainted with her bluesy, Billie Holiday-meets-Muddy Waters-meets-Doris day sound via the video for “What Do I Do” above.
Jack White’s renowned Jay-Z collaboration, “Ray Bans,” appears to be trapped in the Hova vaults, but Third Man Records’ debut rap foray arrived tonight in the meantime: “Brain” b/w “Royal Mega” was released digitally and on 7” vinyl, starring Detroit hip-hop artist Black Milk — who put a live album at TMR’s Nashville HQ to tape in the spring — with horn and live drum-driven co-production by Jack. Sample the B-side, “Royal Mega,” (mislabeled in SoundCloud) below or with “Brain” over at SKoA.
Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence, and Patrick Keeler will reconvene this fall — after a three-year break spent focused on other respective band and solo projects — to headline MI Fest, a new music festival that seeks to celebrate “the history of Michigan while bringing in national names as well,” reports the Detroit Free Press. While no other concerts (or recording plans) have been revealed for the Racs as of yet, the quartet will be joined at the September 17 event by “several artists from the Third Man Records roster” for performances. Also, TMR’s Rolling Record Store will be on-site.
