Albums of 2012 - 23. Jack White - Blunderbuss

23. JACK WHITE - BLUNDERBUSS


The man who burst onto the scene around 15 years ago, had an illustrious career with The White Stripes, declared that there should be no cars on the road, played on "is she his wife or his sister?" ambiguity with Meg White; Jack White has it all - the blues, the raw talent and some classic, enigmatic WTF.

This LP utilizes everything that came before it - a belter of a six disc discography with the Stripes and cumulated in a lovely blues offering. Less spectacle than before, meaning less pressure. The brakes were off, but the instrumentation and songwriting was even richer and graceful. Can't really stammer "one to watch" but White looks set for a glistening solo career after this debut solo outing. :)
