This week we're talking with Jack White. white. A few years ago Greg and I took a road trip down to Nashville to interview Jack in his amazing recording studio and record store.

We talked with him about his life growing up in Detroit, the beginning and the end of his most famous band, The White Stripes, and his record label, Third Man Records. It was such an amazing interview. We're revisiting it today. When we talked to Jack in 2012, I started

by asking how music first came into his life.

Yeah, my older brothers all played instruments, so you know they had a band going and they they all a cousin who lived on the street

also played like clarinet fiddle electric guitar as well so the attic where they all slept

because there's a lot of kids in the you know there's like there's like three of them slept up there, I think at the time when I was like five years old, but there was a drum kit up there, you know, all kinds of pawnchamp guitars and stuff. It was second nature to play any of those instruments.

But I loved playing the drums from early on.

I like to, you know, did recordings with them

when I was like four or five years old.

And always played the whole time I was growing up just did nothing but play the drums.

I played other instruments a little bit like a guitar a little bit or whatever but didn't really care about it.

What was the scene like in Detroit?
