Sure enough, at around 3:35 p.m., White strolled into Reckless Records and performed an unpublicized, impromptu set which included old White Stripes classics such as “Dead Leaves On The Dirty Ground” and “We're Going To Be Friends,” as well as tracks off of his latest solo album Blunderbuss such as “Hypocritical Kiss.” Some Chicagoans were smart enough to take the sighting of the van as a sign of things to come, and word gradually spread throughout the day that Jack White might (or might not) make an appearance at Reckless. ![]() Most music fans also know that if The Third Man Records van is spotted within a 10-mile radius of a music festival, Jack White is somewhere close behind.
