Jack White and the Band


I went to a Raconteurs concert two weeks ago and the night still resonates with me. Probably because Jack White is the greatest act in all of rock right now. I saw him with the White Stripes...pretty good. But here with a band and a drummer that can actually rival White's guitar work, Jack really shines. He's having a good time playing the band's original songs ("Steady as She Goes") or covers of Gnarls Barkley ("Crazy") and Cher ("Bang Bang"). He's an amazing performer and musician that will no doubt go into both the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame and Country Music Hall of Fame. Let's not forget about the Loretta Lynn album that he produced, which is currently in my playlist. Other than Jack Bauer of "24" and Dr. Jack Shepard of "Lost", Jack White is my favorite Jack.
