Jack White has released a fresh cut off his forthcoming album, Acoustic Recordings 1998-2016. This time we hear White go to The Raconteurs’ catalog, offering an “Acoustic Mix” of “Carolina Drama.” While the original is a heavy, dirty Blues delight, the acoustic rendition feels so much more gruesome and desolate. The storytelling now seems so much more personal, as if White was more of an onlooker than someone who’s retelling it. It’s spine-tingly goodness!
Hear it below.
Acoustic Recordings 1998-2016, features acoustic versions of songs from across his discography including alternate takes of White Stripes and Raconteurs songs, will arrive September 9 via White’s Third Man Records. The album will be available on a limited edition blue vinyl, exlusive at Third Man Records in Nashville and Cass Corridor, Detroit storefronts.
