The U & U Show 358 | New Jack White & So Much More



Jack White : Lazaretto : Lazaretto (2014)
-       2nd solo album out June 9
-       Bringing more of the older, more aggressive style White Stripes' fans were used to.
-       Hi solo debut, 2012's Blunberbuss was a much slower, folkier album.



Curtis Harding : Cast Away : Keep On Shining 7” (2014)
-          B-side from first single for his debut full length, Soul Power.
-          Incredibly promising soul singer that’s readying one of the albums I’m most excited for.
-          Played with Cee-Lo and, currently, with members of the Black Lips in a band called Night Sun (also readying a debut EP)

 

The Black Angels : An Occurrence At 4507 South Third Street : Clear Lake Forest EP (2014)

The War On Drugs : Lost In The Dream : Lost In The Dream (2014)
