Jack White and his No Name tour continue to lay waste to crowds in a steady, rolling manner as evidenced by the shows featured in the December drop for Third Man Thursday. The songs from No Name like "Archbishop Harold Holmes" and "Old Scratch Blues" continue to both sizzle and evolve, each subsequent performance taking on a life of its own. For the heads, the tour keeps on delivering presents...like the first outing of "Now Mary" since the White Stripes last played it in 2007 (!) as well as tour debuts of "Let's Build A Home" and the cover of Dylan's "Outlaw Blues." Furthermore, the Robert Johnson gems just keep coming! New to these shows are spirited, impromptu takes on both "I'm A Steady Rollin' Man" and "Preaching Blues" and we are all the richer for them. Listen already!
