Jack White’s first solo album “Blunderbuss” replaced his XL Recordings labelmate Adele’s “21″ at the top of the U.K. album chart. ”Blunderbuss” soundly beat its fellow XL release, with sales to midnight Saturday of 40,000 compared to 15,000 for “21.” White previously topped the U.K. chart with the White Stripes’ “Elephant” in 2003 and “Icky Thump” in 2007.
Review via EdmontonJournal
From the first verse of “Missing Pieces,” the instant classic that opens Jack White’s first solo album, Blunderbuss, a feeling immediately sets in that this might be his mission statement. the song connects in a way that’s both fresh and ancient — much like the first time you heard The White Stripes.
Except for one thing: The White Stripes never made an album with as much scope and consistency as this. Blunderbuss leaves White’s other projects and collaborations — impressive as they might have been — in the dust: it’s deeper than the Stripes, farther-reaching than The Raconteurs and more melodically satisfying than The Dead Weather. On this disc, White draws the line from Lead Belly to late-60s garage bands to Nirvana and never sounds like anyone but himself.
It’s easy to get sidetracked from what White has set out to do, given such distractions as the self-mythologizing, alternative personal histories, secret passages to his recording studio, obsession with vinyl and mandatory colour schemes for the clothes worn by his employees. (If you’re curious, though, his obsessions were recently chronicled at length in a fascinating article in the New York Times Magazine.) But consign that to the “mildly amusing” file and focus on the music. Once that leap is made, you realize that none of White’s contemporaries have the untutored scholarity, anarchic instincts and respect for tradition that fills his work.
And never has that been so evident as it is on this astonishing disc.
White has said in recent interviews that he had two reasons for choosing Columbia to distribute the album instead of handling the release entirely through his own Third Man label. Apart from Columbia’s ability as a major player to publicize the music and get it to the right places, he said, he saw the label as a blue-chip institution with a proud history that includes some of his heroes, like Robert Johnson and Bob Dylan.
This recording brings with it the hope that White himself might, one day, be included in that Hall of Fame.
The dynamics on Blunderbuss reveal a scope White has only hinted at so far in his career. Piano and acoustic guitar are at least as prominent as his trademark distorted-guitar stuttering, which is best represented here in the majestic “Weep Themselves to Sleep” and the twin-axe solo in “Freedom at 21.” Country and blues, White’s stylistic vehicles in the “Goodnight Irene” rewrite “I Guess I Should Go to Sleep,” live right next door to the blasting Kinks chords of “Sixteen Salteens.” The main riff in “Love Interruption” is carried by Emily Bowland’s clarinet work, while Fats Kaplin’s haunting pedal steel guitar elevates the title track, a kissing cousin of Bob Dylan’s “Isis.”
As one would expect, White’s primitivist instincts are front and centre. Look elsewhere for Auto-Tune, Pro Tools and drum programming: White and his studio collaborators are flesh-and-blood musicians playing real instruments. And if they make real mistakes, all the better.
Isn’t that what ultimately gets you into the Hall of Fame?

They gathered by the tens of thousands in the drenching rain to face down terrorism with song.
Drawn by a Facebook-organized protest, Norwegians flocked to public squares across the country Thursday and rallied against far-right fanatic Anders Behring Breivik, now on trial for a bomb-and-shooting rampage that killed 77 people.
They sang a Norwegian version of a Pete Seeger tune that the confessed mass killer claims has been used to brainwash the country’s youth into supporting immigration.
Defiant singalongs of “Children of the Rainbow” were staged in Oslo and other major Norwegian cities, even as the ninth day of the trial went on with survivors of Breivik’s attacks giving tearful testimony.
In downtown Oslo alone, about 40,000 people raised their voices as Norwegian artist Lillebjoern Nilsen played the song, a Norwegian version of Seeger’s “My Rainbow Race.”
They sang the Norwegian lyrics:
“A sky full of stars, blue sea as far as you can see
“An earth where flowers grow, can you wish for more?
“Together shall we live, every sister, brother
“Young children of the rainbow, a fertile land.”
Seeger’s lyrics in the original version have a similar message of living together in harmony.
In testimony last week, Breivik mentioned the tune as an example of how he believes “cultural Marxists” have infiltrated Norwegian schools and weakened its society.
The crowd later marched to the Oslo courthouse, where they laid a carpet of red and white roses on the steps and the fence.
Reached at home in Beacon, N.Y., the 92-year-old Seeger told The Associated Press he had heard about the mass gathering in a phone call from Nilsen.
“I said, ‘Oh that’s wonderful,’” Seeger said. “It’s a tremendous honor, really. One of the greatest honors a songwriter could have is to have a song of theirs sung in another country.”
The folk singer and his music have been central in many social justice issues from civil rights to the environment. He sang out against the Vietnam War and more recently joined the Occupy Wall Street protest in Manhattan.
Breivik has admitted to setting off a bomb July 22 outside the government headquarters that killed eight people, and then going on a shooting rampage at the Labor Party’s annual youth camp on Utoya island, killing 69 others, mostly teenagers.
