mobanmarketFans have been pushing for two Grammy-winning musicians with similar but opposite names to come together for years and it’s finally happened.
###
Jack Black and Jack White have joined forces to become the superior Jack Gray — and they even recorded a “stone-cold jam” together at White’s Tennessee home. A video blog of their long-awaited meeting is up on Black’s YouTube channel, JablinskiGames.
###
“We’re heading over to Jack White’s house to record a single. This is a legendary collab — the D with Jack White. Everyone’s been waiting for it and now it’s here,” says Black in the nearly 18-minute clip.
###
The story began last June, when Black’s comedy rock duo Tenacious D (Black and Kyle Gass) posted a photo with the frontman of the White Stripes and the Raconteurs. White was holding up a Tenacious D band shirt and the caption was: “We hired a new merch guy.”

A month later, after their Lollapalooza set in Chicago, Tenacious D jetted to Nashville to visit White’s independent label Third Man Records, which he founded in 2001. Black and Gass took a tour of the space, including an impressive live recording space used by the likes of Pearl Jam and U2.

“I didn’t realise, but they’re actually not very nice guys — they’re actually really mean,” White whispered to the camera, while the duo were distracted with a photo shoot in the background.
###
Black and Gass headed to White’s home afterwards, improvising a version of Michael Jackson’s ‘Black Or White’ for the occasion: “If you’re thinking about being my baby, it don’t matter if Jack Black or White.”
###
“It’s an amazing facility,” said Black of Third Man’s headquarters. “It’s kind of a museum, it’s a recording studio, it’s an art house gallery.”
###
Black and Gass weren’t able to continue filming inside of White’s residence, but it lived up to their expectations of the vocalist’s eclectic tastes.
###
“His house is crazy. I’ve never seen so many cool antique toys and little Moviolas and furniture,” Black said. “It’s what you would expect: Jack White’s house is gonna be off the chain. I’m still floating — floating on Cloud 9. I think our song is the kickin’ chicken too. It’s a stone-cold jam.”
###
Black added that it was an “old-school recording” on 8-track tape and Gass compared it to The Beatles.
###
“We were like the Beatles,” agreed Black. “We had to nail it. And it wasn’t like, ‘Can I do another take?’ … It was that kind of thing.”
###
It’s unclear when the track might release, or whether it will be a hit or a miss. You could say it’s a bit of a grey area.
