The world gets to know Jack White (Detroit 1975) as the frontman of The White Stripes. Initially the band seems no more than one of many garage rock bands, but thanks to strong albums such as White Blood Cells (2001) and Elephant (2003), the basic duo line-up with guitar and drums is very much imitated. Jack White also doubles in other groups (The Dead Weather, The Raconteurs), but also profiles
… himself as a versatile producer. In 2011 Jack and Meg put an end to The White Stripes and Jack has his hands free for a career under his own name. White shows a rich palette on his solo records. Besides rock and blues he also plays soul, country, folk and rock-n'-roll.more
