A Continuation of a Musical Legacy

This latest release follows on the heels of a similar collection of White Stripes lyrics published in 2023. Although the White Stripes haven’t performed together since their 2009 appearance on Late Night With Conan O’Brien, Jack White keeps their music alive in his solo performances, ensuring fans never forget that iconic duo.

According to the official Third Man Books website, their mission is “dedicated to publishing the best in poetry, fiction, speculative fiction, SF/F, and non-fiction with the same diversity and award-winning design that are hallmarks of our partner company, Third Man Records.” This philosophy shines through in the meticulous curation of the book.

Jack White’s Upcoming Performances

If you’re itching to catch Jack White live, he has a handful of festival dates lined up this summer and fall:

• Bourbon and Beyond in Louisville, Kentucky – September 13
• Riot Fest in Chicago – September 20
• CBGB Festival under the K Bridge in Brooklyn, New York – September 27

These shows promise to be packed with energy and, no doubt, a generous dose of nostalgia as he performs classics from his vast catalog.

New Video Release: John C. Reilly Stars in “Archbishop Harold Holmes”

Last week, Jack White unveiled a fresh music video for the song “Archbishop Harold Holmes” from his 2024 album No Name. The video is directed by Gilbert Trejo and stars actor John C. Reilly embodying the title character.

Set in a southern church that’s bathed in the eerie glow of a neon cross, the clip shows Reilly channeling the spirit of the Lord before a small congregation. But as the video progresses, the true nature of Holmes's character unravels, adding a haunting twist to the performance.
