“You’re a thousand points of light / There’s only one Jack White”
This line, lyrically improvised by none other than Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, is a quintessential encapsulation of how illuminating Jack White’s 2025 tour continues to be. The cover of Neil Young’s “Rockin’ In The Free World” with Vedder’s guest vocals is just one of many highlights in the latest batch of nine new recordings available to listen to now as part of the monthly series Third Man Third Thursday. While songs off “No Name” like “Old Scratch Blues” and “Archbishop Harold Holmes” continue to captivate and evolve and grow into these expressive beasts of primal, blasting energy, new takes on old classics from Jack’s solo career and White Stripes days keep on invigorating the quarter century’s worth of tunes from the man. Further buoyed by left-field surprises like an impromptu mash-up of the inimitable riff to “Peter Gunn” paired with the lyrics to John Lee Hooker’s “Boogie Chillin” to an unpredictable take on “Heartbreak Hotel” through a quick spin of Dale Hawkins’ “Suzie-Q” through a soft, heartfelt rendition of Loretta Lynn’s “Whispering Sea” and a run through of Eddie Cochran’s “Summertime Blues” and what you get is the pure, simple proof that there’s only one Jack White.
