Jack White

In July, fans caught former White Stripes maestro Jack White clowning on ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,’ duetting with the talk show host and comic on the 1976 pirate-themed folk song “Barrett’s Privateers.” That same show, White performed the haunting “If I Die Tomorrow” from his new LP ‘Entering Heaven Alive.’ The tune is among White’s finest, an authentic-feeling yet muscular folk-rock juggernaut that channels Heavy Horses-era Jethro Tull.
