On March 8th, Jack White made his solo debut to help celebrate the third anniversary of his Third Man Records store and recording studio in Nashville. Now he's marking the performance with Vault Package #14, part of his subscription series, which includes a double album of the performance, Live At Third Man Records; a special seven-inch containing demo versions of "Freedom at 21," "Love Interruption" and "Hypocritical Kiss"; and a photo book from the Dead Weather's 2010 tour, Shark Infested Soda Fountain. Here, White reaches back for the White Blood Cells single "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground," tearing through the track with sludgy, rugged riffs.

Fans must sign up by October 31st to receive Vault Package #14. For more information, visit the Third Man Records website.

“The Pretender”

Foo Fighters | 2007

This song wasn't part of the planned track listing for 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, and was put together in a day. "It happened after we recorded a lot of stuff," said Dave Grohl. Yet it ended up as the album opener and the lead single. Grohl called it "a stomping Foo Fighters uptempo song with a little bit of Chuck Berry in it." The singer hinted at the lyrics' political overtones: "Everyone's been f---ed over before and I think a lot of people feel f---ed over right now and they're not getting what they were promised."
