Jack White will release Blunderbuss, his debut album as a solo artist, on Third Man Records/Columbia on April 24th. "Love Interruption," the first track to be released from the record, will be released today – first as a stream on White's official site, and later as a digital single on sale in the usual shops at 9 p.m. PT. A vinyl single will be released on February 7th backed with a non-album track, "Machine Gun Silhouette."

White produced Blunderbuss at his Third Man Studio in Nashville, Tennessee.  In a statement, White said that Blunderbuss is "an album I couldn't have released until now. I've put off making records under my own name for a long time but these songs feel like they could only be presented under my name. These songs were written from scratch, had nothing to do with anyone or anything else but my own expression, my own colors on my own canvas."

You can preview "Love Interruption" in the stream below.

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
