Keith working with Jack White in Nashville!
Aug 14^th, 2008 at 4:21pm

Rolling Stone rolls into town to work with Jack White

by Brad Schmitt
August 14th, 2008 - 3:22 pm

Ain’t that cool?

Rolling Stones lead guitarist Keith Richards flew into Nashville on a private jet around noon Tuesday, Brad spies tell me.

And he went right to the Forest Hills area home of rocker Jack White, he of White Stripes and Raconteurs fame.

The two holed up for about 11 hours.

And then Keith went back to the private airstrip and left town shortly before midnight.

No word on what might result from said collaboration.

Thanks to gmanp on IORR for the tip

Cant imagine that a visit to someone's home lasting a few hours would leave much open to be 'leaked', Ian.

Jack's been touring with the Raconteurs this summer.

______________________________

Well there WAS a reason for flying all the way into seeing Jack White and only for less than a day before leaving...

My guess is it was more than just to sit and have a cup of tea and discuss the weather for 11 hours before taking a plane back to wherever. Whether it was for Jacks benefit, or Keith's I think they definitely discussed something and there was a definite purpose to the meeting. We are not talking about Gram Parsons in 1970 for weeks on end we are talking Jack White in 2008 for less than even a night over.

Something was up with it if it required Keith flying into see him. Not saying it is Rolling Stones related, but I am guessing if this is indeed true (and everything is factual about how and when the meeting took place), it was for some type of project. That is why I wondered if Jack was working on a Raconteers album at the moment. Thought maybe he wanted Keith to do a spot on something.

Reply #15 - Aug 20^th, 2008 at 3:10pm I doubt the Racs are working on another album, their last one just came out. And the White Stripes never collaborated with anyone else before, did they? I bet they were just jamming and messing around. It'd be cool to see Jack involved in a future Stones album, though.

Saturday my wife's going out of town.

Sunday morning Keith is flying to the Chesterfield (Missouri) Airport by private jet. I'll pick him up in my old car and drive him the eight miles to my house where we'll work on a few of my songs. He's nice that way. All he asked for in return is a 12-pack of Bud, a bottle of Rebel Yell and some fresh-from-the-oven lamb samosas.

thats not what I'm saying. The point is they werent in a studio. They were in someone's home on a private visit. So, with less witnesses etc, its hardly the same environment where you'd get much possibility of information being "leaked"

This thread is old Maybe Keith was retrieving some guitar he accidentally gave Jack to use during the movie shoot.

_____________________________

I used improper "wordage". I actually meant that I wondered why nobody in either camp, organization, management, some representative or even an insider did not mention that they were doing something together with possibly more detail.

I am sure there are a few representatives, management, or family members or at least a few other people than only Keith and Jack that know what it was about and may of given something away about it by now (I realize this only took place week ago, but still they could of been talking about doing something for a while. Also, it does not take long for info to start to be let out especially in todays "internet age"). Thought someone might of let more out, or knew about it that may of said something by now is what I meant.

I think we both agree, it was not to simply just to have a doobie and talk about the success of Shine A Light. Being as who the two people are, their brief history (few years), the physical distance between them at the time, and the short time frame (suppose ably not even over night) Keith took to flying to see him and then stayed for a day, there was a definite purpose to it.
