What can be said about Jack White that has not already been written? There has always been so much to admire about White; his songwriting ability, his guitar playing, his music production, his showmanship. But what I have always most appreciated about him is the fact that he is a true student of music and its history. With this, when you hear him talk about music, you can sense the respectful that he has for all kinds of musical genres and periods. It helps elevate his approach to writing, creating, and producing music to a level that few other artists of his generation share.
On his new release, Blunderbuss, White gives us a another great collection of songs and once again shows us why he is such a force to be reckoned with musically. Besides just being a collection of electrifying songs, White's approach to creating this album incorporates some very cool ideas and elements. Rather than me discuss them all, here is an interview that he did with All Songs Considered's Bob Boilen, explaining his approach to this album. Watching it is a must for any White fan. Missing Pieces
What I love about music is its power to transport me. Sometimes it’s unexpected, sometimes it’s exactly where I want to be. A single melody can unlock memories I didn’t realize I still carried, while certain chords or lyrics take me to another time or place. Some songs feel like home, offering shelter, while others deliver me to an unknown place or space, stirring emotions I can’t quite name. In this way, music isn’t just sound—it’s a sonic subway, delivering me to a station of refuge or one I never knew existed.
Music has always been an important part of my life. My family and friends knew this well, often asking me what I was listening to and what I liked. It was always humbling to be asked, and eventually, I gathered the courage to create this music blog—to put into words what draws me to certain music and why.
Over the years, my passion for writing has grown, along with my excitement for sharing musical discoveries. I hope your time here sparks excitement and leads you to a musical discovery of your own. More than anything, I hope your visit brings a little joy to your day.
