It is fair to say that we all had an idea of what we thought Jack White’s solo debut, Blunderbuss (due April 24th on Third Man Records/Columbia), would sound like. It is also fair to say that all our preconceptions went out the window when White performed “Sixteen Saltines” on Saturday Night Live. Luckily, the track’s recorded version is just as electrifying, and a peek at his recent solo setlist reveals that White is indeed playing the hits when he performs in support of this solo album. Just when you think you have White figured out, you realize you don’t at all. Check out “Sixteen Saltines” below.
Update: Jack White is on the ball and has already put up an official stream of “Sixteen Saltines.” The song will be released as a single on March 20th, backed by a cover of U2’s “Love Is Blindness.” We have also added his current tour dates. Go here to pre-order the single.
