A Spaghetti Western inspired Album is Jack White’s most recent Project
We have seen the beloved Italian genre inspire eveything from the films of Tarantino (Kill Bill), to the books of Stephen King (The Dark Tower), to the music videos of The Black Keys (“Howlin’ for You”). Now the “spaghetti westerns” of the 60’s will inspire a new album that combines the talents of Danger Mouse, Jack White, Norah Jones, and Italian composer Daniele Luppi. Rome, which hits stores May 17th, is a collaboration between the four and is said to be inspired by the iconic genre . Previously released tracks from the forthcoming album include “Two Against One” and “The Rose With the Broken Neck.” Beyond the break, you can listen to the album’s closing track “The World.”
Seattle radio station 107.7 The End was able to score the new track. With the recent rumbling behind Tarantino’s upcoming Django Unchained and the release of this highly anticipated album, the classic Italian westerns clearly have seen a resurgence of fame in the recent years.
Rome drops May 16 in the UK and May 17 in the U.S. on Capitol.

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
