Jack White: No Name (Third Man) review: A freewheeling solo surprise, writes ADRIAN THRILLS


Jack White is a man who enjoys springing surprises. As the boss of his own record label - and owner of three vinyl-focused record shops - he released two contrasting solo albums

Bombing Out is a rough and ready rock number with an improvised guitar solo and lyrics that quote from Sam Cooke’s 1964 single A Change Is Gonna Come, an anthem of the American civil rights movement. Now a star on the rise, he sang on the tenth anniversary edition of Lady Gaga’s Born This Way — and he’s joined by a stellar cast on Stampede, a new duets album mixing covers and self-penned originals. He occasionally plays second fiddle to his guests — Beck steals the show on Death Valley High — but the 15 tracks here are 50-50 collaborations on which Peck delivers with aplomb and an authentic feel for traditional country-soul.
