Not wanting that Dave Grohl fella to have the last word, Jack White is teaming up with T Bone Burnett and Robert Redford to produce American Epic, a three-parter "following the trail of record company talent scouts from the late 1920s", which will air this autumn on BBC Arena.
The likes of White, Beck, Nas, Alabama Shakes, Merle Haggard, Elton John, Taj Mahal, Willie Nelson, Raphael Saadiq, the Avett Brothers, Los Lobos, Bettye LaVette, Steve Martin and Edie Brickell will get to perform songs old and new using authentic period equipment, with Third Man Records releasing both the soundtrack and a companion series of archival recordings. Sounds like a surefire winner to us!
