It's hardly surprising his solo album has taken time to appear despite it first being rumoured in 2003. It's also clear enough by now this man is pretty much a rock and roll jukebox, although more accurately and rather drily described as a "musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, multi-instrumentalist" this doesn't quite explain the story.
The White Stripes came to an end in 2011 after 14 years of Punk, Garage and Blues.
With The Raconteurs in 2005 White produced a Grammy award album with band going on to support a Dylan tour, this was then followed by the thunderous Dead Weather in 2009 and he shifted to the drum kit and vocals, and in between all that numerous side projects. Prolific might be a better way to describe Jack White.
It's also an extra quality he finds some excellent female musicians to work with in his groups as he redefines some of the roots of rock and roll with his present band. The women by the way, despite a spectacular visual presence are certainly no gimmick addition.
This years 'Blunderbus' has a balance of two different personal line-ups for the album, here's one half performing the single 'I'm Shakin' live on Conan O'Brien's US chat show in November this year.
Jack White is not afraid of taking risks, it's become rather fun to see what his next phase is going to be.
