Jack White

Lazaretto

First released2014

Lazaretto, Jack White's second solo album, was recorded primarily at his Third Man Records studio in Nashville, Tennessee, and completed in 2013-2014. The album was produced by Jack White himself along with engineer Vance Powell, known for his work with rock and alternative artists. White employed both modern and vintage recording techniques, including analog tape machines and cutting direct-to-vinyl recordings, reflecting his ongoing commitment to analog technology and unconventional production methods. The recording process was notably efficient, with White and his collaborators working quickly to capture performances with minimal overdubs. The album marked a shift toward a more rock-oriented sound compared to his debut solo work, incorporating live instrumentation and establishing Third Man Records as a serious production facility for White's artistic vision.
