Mack White's latest album, A Stranger To Me That Woman Of Mine, is a captivating blend of blues, country, and folk music that showcases the singer-songwriter's range and depth as an artist. The album opens with the title track, a haunting ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the record. White's raspy voice is perfectly suited to the melancholy lyrics, and the sparse instrumentation only adds to the sense of isolation and longing.
As the album progresses, White's influences become more apparent. "One More Time" is a classic country tune that could have been written by Hank Williams himself, while "Gone Too Long" has a bluesy, almost gospel feel to it. "When You Left Me" is a standout track, with its finger-picked guitar and mournful harmonica accompaniment.
