Jack White - 20 new songs in the works!

Jack White has been on a whirlwind lately - less than a year ago he released his debut solo album Blunderbuss, and besides all the touring and promotion surrounding that, he's been spending time recording several interesting projects (including, but not limited to, collaborations with Radiohead and Gibby Haynes). The White/Haynes track "Paul's Not Home" debuted this morning and can be heard below (scroll down to the end of this post). Besides all of that and keeping Third Man Records going, White recently revealed to the BBC he's been busy writing 20 songs for a new record! 



In more Jack White news, 25,000 blues tracks which originally were released on indie blues label Document Records are going to be remastered and reissued on Third Man Records. Read more about that here.

Jack White's critically acclaimed album Blunderbuss is for two Grammy awards - Album of the Year, and Best Rock Album, and the song "Freedom At 21" is up for a Grammy for Best Rock Song. The winners will be doled out at the 55th annual Grammy awards on February 10th on CBS. White is scheduled to perform live at the ceremony in what will be his first solo performance for the Grammys (the White Stripes performed in 2004).  Other performers include the Black Keys, Mumford & Sons, Fun. and more.  For more on the Grammy awards visit the official site.
