Last spring Mumford & Sons, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros embarked on the Railroad Revival Tour , which saw the three bands traverse the country together via vintage train cars. The throwback tour, which got its inspiration from the famed 1970 Festival Express tour that transported the likes of the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin and The Band across Canada, began in Oakland and ended in New Orleans, stopped in six cities along the cross-country route where the bands performed at unique outdoor venues. The entire [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-07T20:33:55+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4044010/listen-jack-white-machine-gun-silhouette/
An eager Jack White fan has posted the b-side on the "Love Interruption" single release, which is out today on Third Man Records . Definitely prefer the more upbeat vibe to this song over the A-side, but both are solid nonetheless. As April 23rd crawls its way here for his upcoming debut solo album Blunderbuss we can only expect and hope that ol' Jackie to have some surprises tucked up his sleeves for us along the way. Make sure you head over to the Third Man Records store to grab [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-02T19:45:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4032620/the-13-best-jack-white-collaborations/
On the heels of Jack White's new album announcement as well as the unveiling of Blunderbuss 's first single " Love Interruption ," we thought it was time to revisit the hits - not the literal ones , unfortunately - of White's wide-reaching, strange and prolific career so far. So, here's 13 of Jack White's most memorable collaborations. Sorry Bobby D . For once, you didn't make the cut. 13. Insane Clown Posse and JEFF The Brotherhood w/ Jack White Definitely one of the higher-ranking moments in Jack White's "WTF?" register, White [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-30T22:24:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4025084/monday-bears-new-jack-white-love-interrupted/
It's been a long time coming. Ever since the effective end of the White Stripes , it's all been a matter of the waiting game until Jack White would truly release some real solo material. And while I can't imagine this will hault the eventual work of The Dead Weather and The Raconteurs , it's better than five-minute shots on Storage Wars. Listen to White's first single "Love Interrupted" below, and grab his first solo album Blunderbuss this April.]]> text/html 2012-01-30T18:45:06+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4024541/new-jack-white-love-interruption/
It's something Jack White should have done years ago, but he's finally got around to it. Everybody's favourite magpie musician has been a very busy man - previous band projects ( The White Stripes , The Raconteurs , The Dead Weather ), producing (everyone from Whirlwind Heat to John C Reilly ),messing around with collaborators (from Beck to Insane Clown Posse ) and releasing live recordings ( White Denim , Jacuzzi Boys , Jeff The Brotherhood )through his label Third Man Records - and is now ready to go solo.

There was quite a buzz in the air at The Tabernacle on Sunday night, with a packed house of Raconteurs fans very excited that the band chose Atlanta for the last stop on their incredibly brief tour (Nashville, New Orleans, Orlando, Atlanta).

The Raconteurs, with only a hand-full of shows of their calendar for 2011, played a sold-out crowed at The Tabernacle this past Sunday night. The supergroup featuring Jack White (The White Stripes), Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence, and Patrick Keeler (the latter two of The Greenhornes) brought their two albums of material to The Tabernacle with [...]]]> text/html 2011-11-15T06:17:03+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3862193/festival-recap-the-top-sets-at-orlando-calling-2011/
Florida is packed with a million things. Heck, theres more real (and artificial) America thats trickled down into Florida over the last half-century than in most states. Thats doubly true for Orlando, the states defacto central-most city. Now take that, and the amped-up entertainment precedent in the area (ranging from strip clubs to Disney World to The Holy Land Experience ) and try making a music festival to compete. Imagine you have tons of money and experience in putting on festivals, but have never put on a gig in America before. Thats the position Festival Republic was [...]]]> text/html 2011-11-09T00:38:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3848194/jazz-fest-2012-rumors-guesses-wishes-more/
The Voodoo Experience is now in the rearview and the relentless fall concert schedule is starting to slow down (although one could easily keep themselves busy on the live circuit until NYE) and therefore it's time to start speculating about the 2012 Jazz Fest lineup.
