Little Room, Big Changes #8 (Music of Jack White) - Fear of the Dawn/Entering Heaven Alive/Live Show Review

Our special series on the music of Jack White wraps up with a look at the 2022 two album releases, Fear of the Dawn and Entering Heaven Alive. Fear of the Dawn is much closer of a follow up to the experimentation we loved on Boarding House Reach. Entering Heaven Alive takes a more mellow approach, with acoustic aesthetic and jazz influence.--Jack White rose to legendary musician status via his breakthrough band, The White Stripes. Coming out as a blues rock, punk aesthetic garage rock band with child-like drummer Meg White, The White Stripes paved the way for a lot of acts to come. As their success grew, Jack White branched out into other projects, including the classic rock inspired "super group" The Raconteurs, and Led Zeppelin-spirit revival, hard as nails "super group," The Dead Weather. As Jack gained momentum elsewhere, The White Stripes came to an end, leaving room for Jack White to explore a solo career. Throughout his solo career, he started honing his comfort material -- country, blues, and fuzz rock -- moving toward new grounds with experimental noise, high tech production, and unexpected plot twists.Tyler, being a conseur of pop and knower of all things music, and Greg, a Jack White super fan, have a lot to say on Jack White, including a plethora of insights and context into the creation of this music, the cultural impact of Jack White and his embedded philosophies, and the growth of self and artist.
