Produced by Jack White and recorded at his own Third Man Studio in Nashville, Blunderbuss has been described by White as “an album I couldn’t have released until now. I’ve put off making records under my own name for a long time but these songs feel like they could only be presented under my name. These songs were written from scratch, had nothing to do with anyone or anything else but my own expression, my own colors on my own canvas.”

This is the last album released before Johnny Cash’s death in 2003. The majority of songs are covers which Cash performs in his own spare style, with help from producer Rick Rubin.
