By Vita Duva –
Jack White’s, “Blunderbuss” has finally touched down on the music industry, demanding devoted fans to channel their inner psychadelic madman – reminiscent of classic rock greats like, Jimmy Page and Mick Jagger, White’s work is an experience all its own.
Formerly of the White Stripes, White officially split from his other (reportedly, “demanding”) half, Meg White, for the first time in thirteen years, just this past year. Recognized for tunes like, ‘Seven Nation Army,’ ‘Fell in Love with a Girl’ and ‘Blue Orchid,’ the 36-year-old has ingeniously and triumphantly prepared his solo debut.
Never once does the Detroit talent leave you wanting or wishing for Meg to come in beating on her drums. White’s grunge rock bellows from the gut, fusing jaunty jazz undertones that genuinely make the joints stir.
A tangled web of thrilling thoughts, “Blunderbuss” touches on the jaggedknife turnings of love and loss. Ending the record with the song, ‘Take Me with You When You Go,’ White leaves fans aloof, and lusting for another.
Personally, I recommend giving the full album a spin-through from start to finish – give it the respect it requests.
