DESCRIPTION:
2x12" Acoustic Rock LP From Jack White - Reinterprets tracks from His Back Catalog
Natural-born archivist that he is, it is no surprise that Jack White would eventually choose to curate his own career. Acoustic Recordings 1998-2016 is his first attempt at offering an alternative narrative of his own career, one that places his quieter side as the connecting thread running from the White Stripes through the Raconteurs to his solo work. It's a tactic that diminishes some of the conventional notions about White, particularly that most of his music is grounded in the blues. Despite Greil Marcus' mention of blues icon Son House in the liner notes, most of the music on Acoustic Recordings 1998-2016 bears stronger ties to country and folk, even British Invasion pop; the latter is evident not only on the singsong whimsy of "We're Going to Be Friends" but the cinematic melancholy of "Forever for Her (Is Over for Me)." Neither version here is heard in an alternate version, underscoring how this spin on White's work

Last FM Information on Jack White
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Jack White (born John Anthony Gillis on 9 July 1975 in Detroit, MI, United States) is an American rock musician, producer and actor. He rose to prominence as the guitarist and lead vocalist of the rock duo The White Stripes (1997-2011) and, after that, as the guitarist and vocalist of The Raconteurs, and drummer and vocalist for the band The Dead Weather, two bands that are still active on and off. White is also a recording artist in his own right and under his own name.
Jack White first played as a professional musician in the early 1990s, as a drummer for the Detroit cowpunk band Goober & the Peas. White produced Loretta Lynn's Van Lear Rose in 2004, which won them a Grammy for best country album, and an additional Grammy for best country collaboration for the song 'Portland Oregon'.
White's début solo single, 'Love Interruption', was made available on 30 January 2012 at White's pay-to-join club Vault and on jackwhiteiii.com. A week later, it was released on the singer’s preferred format, vinyl. Recorded at his own Third Man Studio in Nashville it was paired with the exclusive non-LP B-side, 'Machine Gun Silhouette'. The single was followed by his first solo album, Blunderbuss, later in 2012.
More solo albums followed: Lazaretto (2014), Boarding House reach (2018), Fear of the Dawn (2022), Entering Heaven Alive (2022) and, perhaps his loudest rocking and most White Stripe-ish sounding solo album to date, No Name (2024).
