Frozen Charlotte [CD]

“Frozen Charlotte”—Jack White’s seventh studio album—shows the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer at his best; backed by an incredible band (Patrick Keeler on drums, Dominic Davis on bass, Bobby Emmett on keyboards), which has just really hit its stride after a tour featuring universally acclaimed performances. Instead of resting on their laurels, they went straight into the studio and recorded what eventually became “Frozen Charlotte.”

Recorded at White’s Third Man Studio in Nashville, this album shows that Jack retains the raw, unpolished, and frenetic energy from his acclaimed 2024 album “No Name.” With 13 tracks of varying moods and sounds, “Frozen Charlotte” is an intense rock ’n’ roll tour de force where the blues roots are never far away—perfect for longtime fans and, at the same time, a wide-open door for newcomers.
