Jack White: No Name

A successful surprise Despite his inconspicuous appearance, Jack White has received a lot of attention for his new album "No Name". And not just because of the music or because Jack White gets attention for everything he does publicly. No, in this case it was the guerrilla release strategy that caused a stir. Anyone shopping at White's record store chain Third Man Records in Detroit, London or Nashville in July suddenly found an additional record in the shopping bag without a name or title. It was the new album by the former White Stripes musician. Without any advance notice or promotion to indicate the release. The news quickly made the rounds on the Internet, the album was distributed online by fans - with Jack White's express permission - and has enjoyed great popularity ever since. Now "No Name" is officially released and will delight all fans of straightforward garage and blues rock. Long-time fans of the White Stripes and Jack White anyway. After the lavish double album in 2022, the new songs are a clear return to the roots. The sound is scratchy and wonderfully direct in a positive sense. Which, in combination with the explosively catchy tracks, actually sounds as if Jack White has turned back time 20 years and presented the legitimate successor to the White Stripes' successful album "Elephant" from 2003.
