Released by Third Man Records’ book division, Jack White Collected Lyrics and Selected Writings Volume 1 joins the 2023 book The White Stripes Complete Lyrics as the most comprehensive collection of White’s writing and lyrics. The new collection is available for pre-order now; it will hit bookstore shelves in the US on October 21st, 2025, and will arrive at stores in the UK on December 12th, 2025.
Of the new book and White’s writing, author and poet Hanif Abdurraqib said, “I wish I read more people who talked about Jack White as a writer of lyrics, or as a narrator of a very specific kind of interior… Evil and optimism wrestle with each other, longing and a hunger for loneliness tussle in the same bed. Cynicism and desire, rage and tenderness. All of these things seamlessly stitch together and come alive on the page.”
White, our 2024 Artist of the Year, just completed his “No Name” tour last month, which Consequence dubbed one of the Best Live Shows of 2024. He’s got a handful of festival dates coming up, including appearances at Bourbon & Beyond, Riot Fest, and CBGB Festival. Get tickets to see Jack White here.
