This is brave, bold and compelling 21st-century blues. Lazaretto is a hugely entertaining album that jumps through genres and lyrical perspectives (sometimes within one song), and references vintage blues, country and rock while still sounding entirely modern. Though some songs initially appear to give us a glimpse into his psyche, he remains largely opaque, flipping between characters and playing with meanings. White claims his new songs were inspired by finding a box of notes he’d written as a 19-year-old. With a large and varied cast of musicians, Lazaretto is a full-sounding album and. when he was a teenager, despite the ridiculous nature of some of them. Further highlights include the stomping but atmospheric instrumental High Ball Stepper, that meshes distorted blues guitar and Ennio Morricone-esque wordless female vocals the boisterous Just One Drink that recalls Exile-era Stones and the piano-led Alone In My Home on which White sings, ‘I’m becoming a ghost, becoming a ghost, so nobody can know me.’ I’ve been a fan of Jack White’s music pretty much from when the rest of the world discovered his talent. It’s reminiscent of the excellent Van Lear Rose album White cut with Loretta Lynn and provides respite from the heavy riffing. White almost raps the lyrics in a manner similar to his band The Dead Weather’s I Cut Like A Buffalo and its meshing of styles makes it one of the most experimental, noisiest tracks here.Īfter these Buzzards-backed rockers, White switches to an acoustic for the country-flavoured Temporary Ground, with The Peacocks adding pedal steel, fiddle, piano and backing vocals.

Lazaretto’s title track is a thumping, jerky rocker with a funky bass line, a searing guitar solo from White and a section that features vintage synths creating arcade game bleeps followed by a fiddle solo.
