Jack White "Lazaretto"

 
He does not need my help.  Top 10 debuts in at least 15 countries, including the US and Denmark, and still charting here and in France three+ months later.  Sadly, it suffers the same fate as Blunderbuss for me....only keeping a couple of tracks.



He looks kinda affected, don't ya think?  Maybe he was pissed because he was having to play during daylight.  This demonstrates some of his Nashville-based influences that appear on the album. Nothing like a little rock 'n' roll fiddle, especially by a dark-haired hottie in a flowing white dress wearing cowboy boots!  This also features one of my hang ups about the guy.  That yelping vocal style doesn't work for me.  Love the intensity of the music, not the singing.  Which would explain why one of the tracks I'll retain is the instrumental halfway through the album and the other features a treated vocal.

Like a shark in a tank, I'm out, until he decides to do another side project like Dead Weather and lets somebody else sing...
