Info zu Blunderbuss

„Blunderbuss“ ist das Debütalbum von Jack White, selbstproduziert und aufgenommen im eigenen Third Man Studio in Nashville. Es zeigt eindrucksvoll die komplette Bandbreite eines musikalischen Genies.

Jack White, der als jüngstes von 10 Kindern in Southwest Detroit aufwuchs und seit 2005 in Nashville wohnt, ist einer der produktivsten und bekanntesten Künstler der letzten 15 Jahre. Als The White Stripes 1997 ihre ersten Konzerte gaben erwartete niemand, am wenigsten Jack, dass eine rot-weiße-1-Mann-1-Frau-Band bald die Mainstreamwelt erobern könnte. Zur Veröffentlichung ihres 2001er Albums “White Blood Cells” fand sich die Band dann auf Magazincovern und begeisterte Zuhörer auf Konzerttouren weltweit. “Fell in Love With a Girl” diente als Durchbruch und der dazugehörige Lego-Clip von Michel Gondry wurden von Pitchfork Media als das beste Musikvideo der 2000er ausgezeichnet. Das 2003er Album „Elephant“ zementierte den Ruf der Band als eine Kraft, mit der man rechnen muss, und es lieferte den Hit “Seven Nation Army”, der mittlerweile zu einer Stadionhymne vieler Fussballteams in der Welt wurde. 2004 arbeitete Jack White zusammen mit Loretta Lynn an ihrem „Van Lear Rose“ Album, eine Produktion, die ihm Grammys für Best Country Album und Best Country Collaboration für die Single “Portland, Oregon” bescherte. Bis heute hat Jack White neun Grammys in sieben verschiedenen Kategorien gewonnen. Eine „neue Band aus alten Freunden“ gründete White 2006 mit den Raconteurs und ihr Debütalbum „Broken Boy Soldiers“ zeigte eine deutlich andere Seite, da Songwriting- Gesangs- und Gitarrenaufgaben aufgeteilt wurden. Der Erfolg der ersten Single “Steady, As She Goes” bewies, dass Whites vorherige Errungenschaften keine Glücktreffer waren. Um dies noch weiter zu treiben, ging White 2009 zu seinem ersten Instrument zurück, den Drums, und gründete Dead Weather mit Mitgliedern von The Kills, Queens of the Stone Age und den Greenhornes. Mit zwei Alben in zwei Jahren und dunkel-beeindruckenden Live-Shows für ein neugieriges Publikum, verdeutlichten sie erneut Jack Whites musikalische Vielseitigkeit. Ebenfalls 2009 eröffnete Jack White sein höchsteigenes Plattenlabel, Third Man Records, wo er über 120 Platten in weniger als 3 Jahren produzierte. Dabei könnten die Künstler unterschiedlicher nicht sein, die Spannbreite reicht von Jerry Lee Lewis, Smoke Fairies, Wanda Jackson, Black Milk und Stephen Colbert.

""Blunderbuss" ist ein Werk im Werden, das Album der Stunde. Es rollt den blauen Teppich für (noch) Größeres aus." (Rolling Stone)

"Dabei hat er das Heft des Handelns fest in die eigenen Hände genommen, hat alle Songs selbst verfasst und die komplette Musik alleine aufgenommen. Und hat es dennoch (oder gerade deshalb?) geschafft, über den Tellerrand hinauszuschauen, manchmal wird es gar sanft oder experimentell, lässt er ein Banjo für Country- Feeling sorgen, reichen Piano und seine (allerdings verfremdete) Stimme für eine Ballade." (Good Times)

"Neben klassischen Riffrock-Gitarren dürfen hier auch Piano und Orgel, Lapsteel und Streicher die Melodien zum Ziel führen." (Audio)

"Ein Donnerschlag: Jack White beweist bei seinem Debüt Vielseitigkeit und Treffsicherheit." (stereoplay)

Jack White




Jack White
One of the most admired guitarists of the early 21st century, Jack White helped restore the popularity of punk-blues as the frontman of the White Stripes. Meanwhile, he widened his reach by participating in a range of other projects, including the Raconteurs, the Cold Mountain soundtrack, Loretta Lynn's comeback vehicle Van Lear Rose, the Dead Weather, and a solo career. Although White's nasal voice and loose, fiery guitar delivery were mainstays of the White Stripes' early work, the group branched out as its reputation grew, building upon an initially minimalist sound with elements of metal, backwoods country, pop, and early rock & roll. White followed a similar evolution in his own career, and by the time the White Stripes celebrated the tenth anniversary of their debut album, the frontman had already issued two pop-oriented records with the Raconteurs, starred in several films, collaborated with Electric Six, duetted with Alicia Keys, and produced records for a number of artists.

John Anthony Gillis was born in Detroit on July 9, 1975. The youngest of ten siblings, he began playing drums at an early age and took inspiration from the world-weary blues of Son House and Blind Willie McTell. A fascination with guitar followed in his teenage years. After launching his own upholstery business in Detroit, White began to infiltrate the city's music scene as the drummer for Goober & the Peas, a local cowpunk band that split in 1995. While continuing to play drums for other groups, he crossed paths with a bartender named Meg White, and the two were married in 1996. Jack took Meg's surname, and the pair formed the White Stripes after a Bastille Day jam session showed promising results.

With their color-coded image and raw, punky sound, the White Stripes became a key component of the garage rock revival of the late '90s. In addition to their music, the bandmembers stirred public interest by claiming to be siblings, a declaration that seemed slightly less incestuous when Jack and Meg White divorced in 2000. Despite the split, the White Stripes only grew in popularity as the decade progressed, eventually winning three consecutive Grammy Awards and issuing several platinum-certified albums.

Following the release of Elephant in 2003, Jack White took a break from the group to produce Loretta Lynn's Van Lear Rose. A critical smash, the album helped endear Lynn to a new generation of fans, thanks in part to White's credibility as a rock artist. He then returned to the White Stripes for the release of Get Behind Me Satan, which saw him expanding his instrumental range with piano and marimba. Shortly thereafter, he launched a concurrent group, the Raconteurs, with friend Brendan Benson and two members of the Greenhornes (who, incidentally, had served as backing musicians on Van Lear Rose). The Raconteurs made their debut with 2006's Broken Boy Soldiers and toured in support of the album, while White publicly stressed that his work in the band should not be seen as a side project or a diversion from the White Stripes. Thus, he began juggling his responsibilities to both groups, partnering with Meg White once again for the White Stripes' 2007 release Icky Thump, before returning to the Raconteurs for 2008's Consolers of the Lonely.

While touring in support of the latter album, White suffered from bronchitis and often lost his voice, prompting singer Alison Mosshart (from the Raconteurs' touring partners the Kills) to climb on-stage and contribute her own vocals. The chemistry between Mosshart and the Raconteurs proved alluring, and the musicians opted to form a separate group named the Dead Weather. With Jack White now handling drums, the band retreated to the studio and recorded an energetic debut, Horehound, in a matter of weeks. Released in 2009, the album was well-received on both sides of the Atlantic, cracking the Top Ten in America and peaking at number 14 in the U.K. Encouraged by such success, the Dead Weather began working on a second album during the fall, with the intention of previewing several new songs during an Australian tour in early 2010. In the meantime, White secured enough free time to appear in a movie -- the guitar-themed It Might Get Loud -- and produce an album for his wife, songwriter Karen Elson.

The first solo outing from White, the bluesy, typically idiosyncratic Blunderbuss, named for a muzzle-loading firearm that was a precursor of the shotgun, arrived on April 24, 2012. It promptly debuted in the American charts at number one, the first White-associated album to do so. Blunderbuss also earned several Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year, Best Rock Album, and Best Rock Song for "Freedom at 21." White's second solo album, Lazaretto, followed in June 2014, preceded by the single "High Ball Stepper." It debuted at number one on the pop charts and earned positive reviews. The Dead Weather released their third album, Dodge and Burn, in September of 2015, and a year later White released Acoustic Recordings 1998-2016, a double-disc compilation of acoustic numbers from his various projects. In April 2017, he dropped a surprise instrumental single called "Battle Cry." A lifelong baseball fan, it was announced that the song would be used as the walk-up music for Detroit Tigers infielder Ian Kinsler, with whom White co-owns the baseball bat company Warstic. In March 2018, the strange, sprawling Boarding House Reach was released, peaking at number one on the Billboard 200. The following year, he was back with the Raconteurs for the group's third album, Help Us Stranger. (Andrew Leahey, AMG)
