Jack White
Blunderbuss LISTEN

What's the difference between a White Stripes album and a Jack White solo album (other than the absence of drummer Meg White, of course)? Apparently, the color blue ... and a bit more diversity and adventurousness in sound. Otherwise, the iconoclastic guitarist, producer, and record shop proprietor delivers a solo debut full of originals (and one cover) that wouldn't sound too out of place on any red-and-white-covered Stripes album. And that's a good thing, as White's track record attests; in fact, critics are already heralding Blunderbuss as one of the year's top albums.
