Sunday October 18, 2020 “Alone in My Home” Jack White
Every time I hear this likeable, pop, Jack White tune it reminds me of another song but I just can't seem to figure out what it is.
Jack White (John Anthony Gillis) the youngest of ten siblings was about to enter the seminary to study to be a priest when he was told he couldn’t bring his amplifier. So he turned to a different vocation.
He began his musical voyage playing drums at an early age but soon gravitated to the blues of Son House and Blind Willie McTell which led him to the guitar. While running his own successful upholstery business and playing in a number of local Detroit bands he met and married Meg White and took her surname.
The White Stripes were thus formed.
Jack White has been in many other projects in addition to and after the White Stripes including the Raconteurs, the Dead Weather, Alicia Keys (theme song of James Bond film Quantum of Solace, the only bond theme that features a duet) and he produced Loretta Lynn’s most recent album/CD the critically acclaimed Van Lear Rose.
Jack White also owns independent record label Third Man Records with locations in both Detroit and Nashville. Third Man also owns and operates a vinyl record pressing plant and record store.
Stay safe and well...and I guess it's easy to relate to being alone in our homes.
