David Emery OnlineNew Jack White - Fly Farm Blues
14 August 2009
As reported, this Tuesday was a busy release day for Jack White and his Third Man Records: the label put out singles by Dan Sartain (“Bohemian Groove”) and Transit (“C’mon And Ride”) — both produced by the Third Man main man — as well as the track that made the three-pack singles release day a press event in the first place, “Fly Farm Blues.” It’s Jack unaccompanied in fuzzbucket slide-guitar mode
Quite frankly, this is the best thing Jack has done in years, even if it does sound rather a lot like ‘Ball and a Biscuit’. Jack, could you stop dicking around with side projects and make a whole album that sounds like this? It’s why we liked you in the first place…
It’s on iTunes if you want to listen to it a bit more (interesting to note Stereogum’s use of YouTube as an audio player, while we’re on the topic of listening…).
