Jack White Will 'Eventually' Record Solo Album

Jack White -- the ever-prolific mind behind the White Stripes, Raconteurs, Dead Weather and Third Man Records -- says he has plans for a solo album. While there's no certainty that the mercurial White will complete the disc in 2010, when pressed by Rolling Stone about his intentions to release a project under his own name, White responded, "Eventually, yeah, for sure."

White, who says he prefers to keep his options open, wouldn't commit to a time line for new recordings by any of his three bands or the solo disc. "It would be a mistake for me to premeditate anything, even in the next six months, to say what I'm going to do," he said.

"I honestly could be working on White Stripes in the next two weeks," he continued. "I have no idea if that is going to happen. And the same with the Dead Weather. I'd rather live like this without a calendar in front of me."

As for the solo album, White is pondering playing all of the instruments himself. "I've never done that," he said of the idea to track everything by himself. "I thought about that. That might be the challenge -- to differentiate from anything else that I've done."

If anyone could do it, we'd have to say it would be Jack.
