JackWhiteJackWhiteJackWhiteJackWhiteJackWhiteJackWhiteJackWhiteJackWhite. We get it, Jack, You're up to a lot these days. Sheesh.
But isn't that why we love him?
NME is reporting that the one of the luckiest ladies in the universe, Jack White's wife Karen Elson, has announced details of her debut solo album, dropping May 27, courtesy of hubby's label Third Man Records.
Stating true to Jack White form of creepiness (see exhibits A and B that we should not speak of, love us Warner Bros!), the album will be titled The Ghost Who Walks.
Per NME's report:
"Elson is said to have written much of the record from inside a closet in her and White's Nashville bedroom."
Her studio band lineup was quite the dream team, too. Jack Lawrence (The Dead Weather) on bass, Carl Broemel (My Morning Jacket) on pedal steel, Rachelle Garniez on accordion and vocals and Patti Smith's son, Jackson Smith (who is actually her bro-in-law), on guitar.
I am so coveting her life right now.
