Jack White/Lillie Mae

When singer-guitarist Jack White played Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica in 2014, he expertly alternated between solo material and songs from the White Stripes catalog. Much like his idol Bob Dylan, he rearranged the songs so they became difficult to recognize. The Stripes’ tune “Hotel Yorba” benefited from a touch of organ and had a bit more twang to it, and “Dead Leaves and Dirty Ground,” another Stripes’ tune, sounded bluesier than its original and featured stand-up bass. He also capably turned “You Don’t Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You’re Told)” into a sing-along. It was a great show. White returns to town tonight in support of his new album, Boarding House Reach. On his most sonically expansive record to date, White takes a page out of the Black Keys' musical playbook by adding electronic bleeps and blips to album opener, "Connected by Love" and shifting musical styles from song to song.
