"would you fight for my love".....no chart action

Jack's second solo effort...
not sure how "blunderbuss" scored when i posted it, and dont care, but this one is a much more cohesive set of tracks, unlike most of his
material which seems slapped together to call it an album...same sort of 'whatever' attitude Neil Young appears to have...no wonder they hit it off
as buddies and collaborators last year!
so, with Jack's move to Nashville and absorbing all the sounds that happen there, its no wonder there are distinct country elements on this one...
even when the music inst country,the melodies and tunes are...and when the msuic is country orientated,surprisingly, the songs are also...
still some of his scratchy,messy sonic sounds on here also...none moreso than on the the abysmal title track, whhc incidently, is IMO, the worst song he has ever
recorded, yet,strangely enough...it was the lead off single from this one...maybe he was trying to let his diehard fans know that he "hasnt sold out"?!?!
all up though, a pretty darn good, complete(wll almost complete, collection of tracks...
BTW...his appearance always seems to remind me of Edward Scissorhands(minus the scissors)...
so if they ever make a movie about the life of Jack White no-one but Johnny Depp should be allowed to portray him!
