Summary:  "Jack White is the "coolest, weirdest, savviest rock star of our time" (The New York Times Magazine). White is best known as the frontman for The White Stripes, where his guitar virtuosity and shrieking rock vocals outstripped speculation about his relationship with his drummer and ex-wife Meg White, who he often insisted was his sister. Not content with launching a blues-rock revival in the early 2000s, White went on to collaborate with famous artists, including Loretta Lynn, Tom Jones, and Bob Dylan. In 2006, White founded The Raconteurs with Brendan Benson, and in 2009 founded The Dead Weather with Alison Mosshart. He starred in the film Cold Mountain, married (and split up with) supermodel Karen Elson, and made his hometown Detroit the headquarters of his record label, Third Man Records. The real Jack White - born John Anthony Gillis in 1975 - can be difficult to pin down. This biography is based on interviews from people close to White, including former bandmate Brendan Benson and Third Man artists such as Neil Young and Seasick Steve. It is the definitive history of the Detroit scene in which The White Stripes first flourished. Nick Hasted writes on music, movies, books, and comics for The Independent, The Guardian and Uncut magazine. He is the author of The Dark Story of Eminem and You Really Got Me: The Story of the Kinks"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Biographies. Holds:  1   Copy/Holding information No Item Information
