Jack White: And The White Stripes: Every Album, Every Song

The White Stripes were one of the breakout bands of the early 2000s ‘rock revival’ and reintroduced a sense of mystery and panache to the staid indie rock scene of the era. But that was only the beginning for singer-guitarist Jack White. From his humble origins in the fabled Detroit garage rock scene to his ongoing solo career, via The White Stripes and his other bands – The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather – Jack White has forged an extensive and eclectic body of work. Now, as the head of his own record label, he has achieved what most musicians dream of: the freedom to follow his idiosyncratic muse where it takes him, regardless of the whims of the record industry or popular taste. His music takes in a variety of quirky styles, but he remains connected to the traditions of American roots music. This is the first book that takes in the entire scope of Jack White’s career: his bands, his solo work and his music with other artists. By going through his discography track-by-track, this book will argue that Jack White is one of the great artists of the modern age. Perhaps, in fact, the last great rock star.
