Paul and James here reporting to you live (sorta) following a viewing of the Jack White Supply Chain Issues tour!

Jack Zeppelin

Want a whole lotta pod? Well get ready for a discussion that'll leave you shook, dazed and otherwise stompin' - we're talking all things Jack White & Led Zeppelin! When the White Stripes first emerged as the heralded next big thing in rock'n'roll, fans and critics alike were quick to spot moments of reminiscence between Jack & Meg's sound to that of behemoth rock institution Led Zeppelin. Of course, anyone picking up a guitar would be hard-pressed to ignore the combined influence of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham, who, in the late 60s and throughout the 70s, called upon American Blues music to redefine the rock genre with a mix of heavy riffs, virtuosic solos, and a grandeur that would cement popular music as stadium-fare forever more. This week we're chatting with musician Rob Janos, who for the last decade or so has worked closely with world-renowned Led Zeppelin tribute group Lez Zeppelin. So grab your double necked Gibson, pour yourself a glass of whatever Hobbits drink and get ready to ramble on in this VERY fun episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

John Krautner: Extended Interview

The Third Men Podcast is proud to welcome to the program this week Detroit music legend and founding member of the band THE GO, Mr. John Krautner! When John met up with Bobby Harlow in 1996, the chemistry between these two rockers set all involved on a break-neck ride into the rock'n'roll life. From The Go's humble origins in the sweaty clubs of the Cass Corridor, to opening for the White Stripes in front of thousands in Europe, to blazing a singular sound on such quintessential LPs as Howl on the Haunted Beat You Ride, John and crew set the standard for Detroit guitar groups to follow -- all the while crucially maintaining their integrity amongst a ruthless music industry that dealt them more than one tough blow. We'll chat with John about recording with Jack, cutting his first solo LP, where to find the best breakfast in Detroit and much much more in this exclusive extended interview. Thanks to Mr. Krautner for joining us and hope you all dig what we're serving up! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Entering Heaven Alive: Album Cycle Origins

We've got a podcast with Jack's name painted on it! With not one but TWO new Jack White albums on the horizon, the Third Men Podcast is here to dissect all the little details shouting "me me me!" - and as such we turn our attention to this coming July's Entering Heaven Alive, the soon-to-be 6th solo studio album by Jack White. With its companion LP Fear of the Dawn providing the kinds of hard-rocking numbers fans have come to know and love from JWIII over the years, this second record in the series will be considerably more...gentle. From tracks such as Queen of the Bees and Love is Selfish, we've got a pretty good idea what to expect from this more acoustic, ROOTSY-sounding record. So join us as we try our best to help you understand the first inklings we got of this new record, its subsequent releases and the interview insight Jack has been busy providing over these past several months! Come, be a fly on the wall with us... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Fear of the Dawn: Album Cycle Origins

When the moon is above you, does it tell you that a new Jack White album is on the horizon? Because it is! That's right, this April's FEAR OF THE DAWN marks Jack White's 4th solo studio album, and the Third Men podcast is here to take a deeper look at the origins of the album cycle of the Third Man's first new solo release in 4 years! On October 19th, 2021, a new single titled Taking Me Back marked a new song and a new phase for the solo catalog of Jack White - since then the singles we've heard are but a tantalizing appetizer to what proves to be a full course meal of rock n roll goodness...and we couldn't be more excited. From the album's title track to the newest sampling Hi-De-Ho, we're here to keep TMR fandom active...and we're gonna hold you and hide electricity the only way we know how...conversation. C'mon...aren't you pumped for new Jack White music? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Collecting Third Man Records

Honey, we can't afford to collect this deep. This week on the Third Men Podcast we're turning our attention to a major component of TMR fandom: collecting. Be it records, novelties, artifacts, autographs, posters or memories, Jack White has smartly baked a healthy layer of collectables into the fandom surrounding his music - and we're taking inventory of all the cool stuff you can amass! Here to help us on this (exhaustive) journey is Third Man Record Collectors Group moderator and radio personality Amy Hart - Amy is no stranger to the show, and certainly no stranger to TMR collecting having been at the forefront of the TMRC group for years now. With Amy at the ready and a few hundred ebay searches at our command, we run down everything from high-price-point records to rare concert posters to actual White Stripes artifacts for sale and everything in between. So get ready to become THIS COLLECTOR on the podcast this week! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
