Today's Song/Album of the Day

Favorite Shining Superstars Albums of 2024

1. No Name -- Old Scratch Blues, Jack White, 2024

Holy smokes at Jack White, y'all. His latest album blows my mind -- he's an artist who keeps surprising me. Stay tuned because there's no denying that he just keeps getting better and better. His album tops my inaugural Top 10 Shining Superstars List.

Speaking of Jack White's No Name album, new music this year has been unbelievably phenomenal. Finally, after what felt like 20 years in the Dakota, the new music landscape is super impressive again, y'all. This artist, Jack White, this song, and this entire album = triple dose of case in point. So so so good. Jack White lives for the music and his love for his art is always evident in everything he does. This album -- his sixth -- kicking so much ass is a testament to Jack White's talent.
