Episode 91 – Cover to Cover

I was walking with a ghost, but then I just realized it was a cover song this whole time! What a twist! Over and over and over the many iterations of Jack White's career, one thing remains a constant: cover songs. This week we take a look at some of these different tunes performed both on stage and in the studio over the past 20+ years, and explore what those choices contributed to his musical statement in the moment. From Bowie to Beefheart to the Brothers Louvin, Jack always chooses interesting material to add his distinct flavor to - sometimes injecting energy while other times soothing to a whisper. Given the material already covered, this week we also add to the list our dream picks of songs we'd love to see get the Jack-treatment, and we've enlisted some of you, our faithful listeners, to contribute to the list! And speaking of our faithful listeners, former Junior Booking Agent for the White Stripes, Raconteurs and Dead Weather, Marc Bauer, is back in a Q&A style segment where he answers some of your questions! Lots to cover this week on the Third Men Podcast, so cover up, won't you? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
