Jack's Got The White Stuff on Blunderbuss

Jack White's solo work is best assessed as a plethora of theatrical set pieces steeped in classic rock firmament. The other truism is the boy can dress up any material with a piano. "Blunderbuss" demonstrates how complex Jack's imagination can be. If you favor Jerry Lee Lewis era classic rock I recommend "I'm Shakin'". It's not even three minutes long but it'll do in a pinch as a top drawer tension buster. For bombast try out "Weep Themselves To Sleep". It's pretty plain Jack graduated from the Freddie Mercury school of bravado. The cocktail lounge tinged ivories get a piece of the spotlight on "Hypocritical Kiss". This song's another example of packing some hefty emotional wallop into a short time frame. It would appear music under three minutes doesn't signify a drop in intensity. Jack has every reason to hold his head high. This opening solo salvo is a unique listening experience.
