Sometimes life throws more than a few unexpected curveballs. I had to shift my focus away from this blog most of the week to manage much larger priorities. I’m back on track, I think. I’m changing the format slightly, referring to the blog entries by song number rather than day as today is November 12.

I selected “Love Interruption” by the accomplished and multi-talented Jack White, released in 2012 on the album Blunderbuss. His duet with Ruby Amanfu over the electric piano and bass clarinet carries a cool vibe that is part throwback and forever timeless.

One of my favorite aspects about White’s solo projects is that he tends to defy genre and era definition. You can hear influences from old blues, country, soul, garage rock, and blue grass, but the music exists in a world of its own.
