Hank Williams may have died almost sixty years ago, but the country pioneer’s legacy lives on in the form of an abundance of unreleased and incomplete sheet music. Under the auspices of producer Mary Martin, twelve brave singers and songwriters endeavored to finish or record Williams’ lost material – it’ll all be released on The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams.

We are of the opinion that no band deserves the live LP treatment more than Austin’s White Denim, so we were psyched to hear that Jack White felt the same way, and would be releasing the band’s Live at Third Man session on his Third Man imprint. The label says the record “would be at home on a record shelf not only packed with Lee Hazelwood records but also Pharoah Sanders and Amon Duul,” which is not only high praise, but also speaks to the band’s uncanny knack for eluding classification over their 5 year history. The recording — which was produced by Jack White himself — does not disappoint, and can be purchased here. No preview of this one, as we are told that the session was recorded live to tape and pressed straight from tape to acetate, so no digital masters exist. But to give you an idea of what you’re in for, here’s a live rendition of “Street Joy” that WD played recently for Sirius XMU, as well as the band’s blazing/legendary performance on Nigel Godrich’s From the Basement:

Ever since Jack and Meg announced their official split, fans have spent hours upon hours mourning and hoping that this was all just some kind of twisted and cruel joke. But as time moves forward it appears that a “we were just playing” statement is quite unlikely (at the moment).

Jack White has never been one to shy away from collaboration, even ones that don’t make much sense on paper. Earlier this year, rock’s resident monarch signed Detroit MC Black Milk to his Third Man Records, and we can finally hear what the two have been cooking together.

“Black” featuring Norah Jones

Rome, Danger Mouse and Italian composer Daniele Luppi’s lavish and pitch-perfect love letter to Ennio Morricone, is something of a twice-over orphan: an original motion picture soundtrack in need of a Sergio Leone film reel, and a curio in need of an audience. Its cinematic ambitions shine marquee-bright. On the album’s cover, the two composers “present” their work, in true Hollywood fashion, while Jack White and Norah Jones, its dramatis personae, “star” in it. Rome even contains its very own “theme,” by way of its opening track, its coo a blatant aping of the iconic whistle of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

It might seem to you that producer extraordinaire Danger Mouse and Italian composer Daniele Luppi’s Rome project also consists of Jack White in its entirety, but unfortunately this is the last from the record that will feature White’s signature vocals.
