Jack White returns this week with Jack White Acoustic Recordings 1998-2016, a new archival rarities compilation featuring alternate takes, new mixes, and never-before-heard recordings touching on all eras of White’s career, from his work with The White Stripes and The Raconteurs to his solo efforts.
The 26 songs on Jack White Acoustic Recordings 1998-2016 are presented in chronological order from The White Stripes (remixed versions of “Apple Blossom” and “I’m Bound to Pack it Up”, “Hotel Yorba”, the Beck-produced “Honey, We Can’t Afford to Look This Cheap”) to White’s solo material (an alternate mix of “Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy”, an acoustic mix of “Just One Drink”, “Love Interruption”). Also included is a bluegrass version of Raconteurs’ “Top Yourself”, plus White’s contributions to 2003’s Cold Mountain, “Never Far Away”, and Coca-Cola’s 2006 What Goes Around ad campaign, “Love is the Truth”.
Stream the album in full via Apple Music or Spotify. White recently launched a new interactive website providing more info on each song, including behind-the-scenes photos.
