“Easily the best rock album so far this year”-LOS ANGELES TIMES

“Highly-charged, wonderfully weird and typically eclectic treasure chest of tunes that rank with his best.”-USA TODAY

“He is just that much better than everybody else.”-LA WEEKLY

“Our six-string savior not only makes his guitar do things that will have you forgetting that Page and Plant are never to take to a stage together again; he is also keen to remind us in just whose hands now rests that Hammer of the Gods.”-FILTER

In the wake of overwhelmingly positive reviews, must-see TV appearances and monumental performances everywhere from Governors Ball to Bonnaroo, Jack White has now seen his sophomore album Lazaretto (Third Man Records/Columbia) debut at #1 on the U.S. album chart.

Lazaretto is Jack’s second #1 debut in as many albums, its 137,732 first week total surpassing that of 2012’s Blunderbuss.

Additionally, the Lazaretto vinyl ULTRA LP has sold over 40,000 copies — the highest first-week vinyl sales since Soundscan began tracking sales data in 1991.

Lazaretto also debuted at #1 in Canada and Denmark.

Finally, Jack White’s world tour in support of Lazaretto continues to garner arguably the most enthusiastic rave reviews of Jack’s — or anyone’s — career, so rather than living out your days in regret, pick up tickets for a date in your town before they’re gone: http://jackwhiteiii.com/tour-dates/
