JACK WHITE has revealed that he is releasing a solo single. The guitarist – who plays with The Dead Weather and fronts The White Stripes and The Raconteurs – is to release a song called Fly Farm Blues. It came at the request of film director Davis Guggenheim while filming the music documentary ‘It Might Get Loud’ with Jimmy Page and The Edge. The track will be released digitally via US iTunes and on a special-edition vinyl 7inch single from August 11. In addition, the ‘Steady As She Goes’ singer has produced two songs for Transit, a group made up of employees of Nashville Metro Transit Authority. ‘C’Mon And Ride’ and ‘Afterparty’ were written about the city’s bussing system. Finally, Third Man Records will also reduce two tracks Jack produced for Dan Sartain next week.
