Jack White “Blunderbuss”
JUNE SIMMS: Musician Jack White is famous for his bands, the White Stripes and the Raconteurs. But the thirty-six-year-old guitarist and singer is now performing in the singular. White’s new album “Blunderbuss” is his first solo project. And sales suggest it will be just as popular as his earlier records. Mario Ritter plays some of the new music.

MARIO RITTER: That is “Freedom at 21” from Jack White’s new album “Blunderbuss.” Third Man Records released it as a single in a most unusual way. In early April, White took one thousand vinyl copies of the recording, tied them to helium balloons, and let them float up to the sky over Nashville, Tennessee. Only a few have been recovered and some of those are being offered e-Bay.

Jack White was featured in Interview Magazine this month. The magazine asked him who he wanted as his questioner. White chose the second man to step on the moon, Apollo Eleven astronaut Buzz Aldrin. The musician tells Aldrin about his interest in space. He says, “I write a lot about the moon --- I even wrote a song about it for the new record. So it was important for me to speak to somebody who has actually been there.”
