SummersRadio™ New Music! Jack White - 'Take Me With You When You Go'/ 'Weep Themselves To Sleep'
Jack White has released his debut solo album called 'Blunderbuss' today! The 13 track album is released on his own Third Man Records label and is his first release since officially disbanding the White Stripes in February 2011. We've already featured the first two singles from the album 'Love Interruption' and 'Sixteen Saltines', so today we have two of the album's other standout tracks.
Upon my first listen if there's one criticism I have of 'Blunderbuss' it's that it lacks some of the overall energy of his White Stripes output. Perhaps Meg White's drumming had more influence on their sound than one may have thought. It's well produced of course and mixes his usual styles of rock, country, blues, and folk - but on occasion it just ends up sounding a bit too middle of the road - and not in a cool Pretenders kind of way, just rather adult contemporary. That said I've chosen two tracks that I think still hold their own.
'Take Me With You When You Go' is the album's closing track and one of the album's most diverse production wise. The song begins with lead female vocals over a jazzy piano backdrop that pauses briefly around the two minute mark and transforms into a Zeppelin styled rocker with the two parts then melding together creating an epic reminiscent of Spiritualized... Enjoy!
'Weep Themselves To Sleep' is the seventh track on 'Blunderbuss' - I like the piano in this one... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Bonus Track! Jack White + White Stripes!
SummersRadio™ New Music + Bonus Track! Jack White - 'Love Interruption'/ White Stripes - 'Blue Orchid' (Dirty Funker Blue Mix)
Jack White has just released his new solo single on itunes today! 'Love Interruption' is the first single from his forthcoming debut solo album called 'Blunderbuss' which is released on April 23rd on his own Third Man Records label. The itunes release is just one track, but the song will also be released on 7" vinyl on February 6th, featuring the non-album b-side 'Machine Gun Silhouette'.
White has described 'Blunderbuss' as 'an album I couldn't have released until now. 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.'
Like much of his work with the White Stripes 'Love Interruption' has it's roots in both blues and country music, and features the lovely backing vocals of Nashville singer Ruby Amanfu... Enjoy!
Bonus Track! White Stripes - 'Blue Orchid' (Dirty Funker Blue Mix) 'Blue Orchid' was the first single released from the White Stripes 2005 album 'Get Behind Me Satan'. This is an excellent remix by London's Dirty Funker - I especially love the Led Zeppelin style drum breakdown that begins about 4:55 in... Enjoy!
