When Jack White moved to Nashville, Mayor Karl Dean invented an award to give him. That’s how excited we all were. And he continues to make Nashville ecstatically proud, especially at South By Southwest.
Last night was the Third Man Records showcase at The Stage in Austin, Texas. The lineup featured TMR acts Karen Elson — yes, the former Mrs. White — The Black Belles, PUJOL and Lanie Lane, along with Reggie Watts, White Rabbits, Natural Child, Electric Guest and Purling Hiss. John C. Reilly (yes, the actor) congratulated Third Man on “three years of kicking ass” during a set of country ballads he performed in a felt cowboy hat. But there was no doubt who was the headliner.
