Info for Entering Heaven Alive

Entering Heaven Alive is the fifth studio album from Jack White, founding member of The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather. True to his DIY roots, this record was recorded at White's Third Man Studio throughout 2021, mastered by Third Man Mastering.

On the second of two albums that Mr. White produced during the Covid pandemic, he musically floats away into a panorama influenced by the sound of the 50s, 60s and 70s, which with strummed folk guitars, warm walking basses, honky tonk blues piano, Fender Rhodes organ sounds and ingenious drumming that likes to act a bit jazzy, makes its way through a past that Jack himself has not yet experienced musically, but which he brings to life musically authentically and with vocal passion. A musically wide-ranging album, in lighter colours than "Fear of the Dawn", with longing, earthy songwriting reminiscent of the Stones ("A tip from you and me"), finger-picked folk-blues ("All along the way"), expressive 70s rock accompanied by strings and marimba ("Help me along"), impressive Americana folk balladry ("Love is selfish") and psychedelic gems like "Madman from Manhattan" or "I've got you surrounded", but also equipped with Caribbean influences ("Queen of the Bees" or the vaudeville charm of "Taking me Back (Gently)" reinterpreted with fiddle and polar rhythm.

Born and raised in Detroit as the youngest of 10 siblings, Jack White’s utilitarian approach filters through all of his work, from self-producing his own music to the Third Man empire he founded (which currently includes a pressing plant, a record label, a photo lab, a lounge/bar, and more), his upholstery and various other art and design pursuits, and anything else that crosses his desk. Over a quarter century into his professional musical career, White’s ability to weave relevant, compelling, and poignant artistry into his music leaves him unparalleled.

A 12-time GRAMMY® Award-winner and 36-time nominee, all three of White’s acclaimed solo albums – 2012’s RIAA gold certified solo debut, BLUNDERBUSS, 2014’s LAZARETTO, and 2018’s BOARDING HOUSE REACH – debuted at #1 on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 along with a variety of other charts. Among his myriad international honors, White’s long run of career GRAMMY® awards and nominations saw BLUNDERBUSS earning five nods over two years, including “Album of the Year,” “Best Rock Album,” “Best Rock Song” (for “Freedom At 21”), “Best Rock Performance,” and “Best Music Video” (the latter two honoring the single, “I’m Shakin”). LAZARETTO proved equally popular with GRAMMY® voters, scoring a nomination as “Best Alternative Music Album,” while its title track received the 2015 GRAMMY® Award for “Best Rock Performance” as well an additional nod as “Best Rock Song.” Praised by NME as “wild, mysterious and unlike anything else around…a full, lush sounding thing packed with personality and life,” BOARDING HOUSE REACH proved among White’s most unique works, topping a variety of charts in the US and Canada while drawing applause around the world. “The spirit of freaky free-play is thrilling and refreshing, a worthy end unto itself,” wrote Rolling Stone. “Like nearly all of White’s work, it manages to feel fresh, original, and still deeply rooted in history.”
