HYPE WILLIAMS-DIRECTED VIDEO WORLD PREMIERE LIVE AT VEVO:

http://smarturl.it/freedomat21video

Jack White has unveiled “Freedom at 21,” the third video from his universally acclaimed debut record Blunderbuss (Third Man/Columbia).

Directed by Hype Williams, whose trailblazing 1990s work with 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G. and Missy Elliott defined the modern hip hop visual aesthetic–and whose more recent clips for Kanye West and Nicki Minaj expanded it that much further–“Freedom at 21” is now live at VEVO: http://smarturl.it/freedomat21video.

For his first interpretation of a Jack White song, Williams infuses his signature style with elements of classic American Grindhouse–the result being a clip that defies and smashes the conventions and boundaries of both the hip hop and rock video worlds.

For those who want to hear “Freedom at 21” played live, Jack White and his Peacocks and Buzzards continue to tour the world. See them here:

Jack White has again decided to take on the tremendous challenge of making it into the Guinness Book of World Records.

During the rest of the performances on his current tour supporting his new album “Blunderbuss” (which incidentally is currently in the running for the world record of “the fastest named album in history” *pending), Jack White will every night on stage attempt to break the world record for most metaphors in a single concert.

The attempt may prove very exhausting and at times even dangerous, but the results could prove to be glorious and possibly even vainglorious. White and Third Man Records are certain that the extremely scientific and intricate analysis of the metaphors that occur will be examined in accordance with Guinness’ usually very thorough methods probably, or at the very least if somebody answers the phone at the pub.

Third Man Records encourages all attendees of said concerts to please not interfere or interject with any metaphors that they witness occur during the show as to not disqualify or worse yet, trivialize the metaphor in question. In addition all concert attendees are encouraged to entice as many metaphors to occur during the show that they possibly can as long as they don’t endanger themselves or Mr. White.

For your chance to participate in the making of history, Jack White & crew can be seen at one of the following venues:

The people have spoken: Blunderbuss is #1.

The popular response to Jack White’s debut album has matched the critical fervor surrounding it: In the week since its April 24th release on Third Man Records/Columbia Records, Blunderbuss has sold 137,554 domestically, debuting at #1 on the U.S. albums chart–his first ever recorded effort to do so.

The highest charting and selling solo debut album this year in the U.S., Blunderbuss has also gone #1 in the UK, Canada and Switzerland–making a grand total of four countries where Blunderbuss currently tops the charts.

In America, Blunderbuss’ crashing into the #1 spot was heralded by Jack’s April 26th performance of “Freedom At 21” on The Colbert Report (http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/413296/april-26-2012/jack-white—-freedom-at-21-), an American Express Unstaged concert at Webster Hall on Friday April 27th (directed by Gary Oldman, with highlights archived atyoutube.com/jackwhitevevo) and another intimate underplay at Los Angeles’ Mayan Theater–a performance the Los Angeles Times called “suggestive of everyone from Chuck Berry, Hubert Sumlin and Keith Richards to Jimmy Page, Johnny Thunders and Joe Strummer… worthy of Bob Dylan… as if he’d gathered inside his head many different strains, accents and ideas of pre-digital American music — country, folk, blues, soul, rock ‘n’ roll and every combination thereof — and was pouring them out through his fretboard-busy fingers and wailing voice.”

The L.A. Times also joined in on the chorus of critical acclaim that has greeted Jack’s #1 debut album, seeing a new Rolling Stone 4.5 star lead review’s “huge riffs, wild ideas, tunes for miles: Jack White turns in a classic” and raising it with an “as impressive and magnetic a record as he’s ever made.”

On the touring front, Jack recently confirmed an all ages matinee show at the Scottish Rite Theater in Detroit on May 24th, a headline appearance at one day of the Roskilde Festival taking place July 5th-8th in Denmark, shows in Australia at Festival Hall in Melbourne on July 25th, Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on July 26th and  July 27th headlining the Splendour In The Grass Festival at Belongil Fields in Byron Bay, a headline show at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO on August 8th, and a performance at the Outside Lands Festival taking place August 10th-12th in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.
