Third Man Records The first question most Jack White fans are looking to have answered to when it comes to his new album, “Frozen Charlotte”: Is it effectively a “No Name 2.0”? Nearly everyone is hoping for a “yes,” on that one. In his solo career, White spent a few years notably bouncing around, veering between acoustically oriented efforts and pure freakazoid workouts, to wildly mixed reactions. Then came 2024’s “No Name,” one of the great modern rock ‘n’ roll records, which satisfied approximately 99.2% of the fan base with a formula that amounted to something like “the White Stripes, but beefier and brawnier.” Rarely has a standom been more primed to say, Please, sir, may we have another.
