Dig it: Detroit music icon Jack White, he of The White Stripes, The RaconteursThe Dead Weather  and the proprietor of Third Man Records, has released his first career-spanning compilation. It’s not a “Best Of,” it’s a survey of alternate takes, demos and new ideas. Acoustic Recordings 1998-2016 is a 26-track take on Mr. White’s song writing. 

He spoke about it and more, recently, with NPR’s All Things Considered weekend edition guest host Ray Suarez.

Listen to it here.
