Jack White reveals first solo album

Jack White stays busy by announcing his first solo album Blunderbuss, due out in April.

White has kept himself enormously busy in recent years, despite breaking up his primary band the White Stripes. He has masterminded indie label Third Man, and created music with side-projects The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather.

Now Jack has announced his first solo album, titled Blunderbuss and scheduled for release on April 24, featuring all-new songs recorded in Nashville, Tennessee.

He said in a statement "I've put off making records under my own name for a long time but these songs feel like they could only be presented under my name. These songs were written from scratch, had nothing to do with anyone or anything else but my own expression, my own colors on my own canvas."

The first taste of his solo sound will come in the form of the single 'Love Interruption', which will be available to hear and buy next Monday 6 February, almost exactly a year since he disbanded the White Stripes.
