"Fly Farm Blues" is a song that was written on the spot by Jack White at the request of film director Davis Guggenheim while filming the incredible new guitar documentary It Might Get Loud which features in depth looks at Mr. White, The Edge, and Jimmy Page's relationships with the six stringed instrument. Jack also recorded the song immediately to two-track, all while being filmed for the documentary in the attic of the Fly Farm. Some may remember the room this scene was filmed in from the first video for The Raconteurs single "Steady, As She Goes", which was directed by Jim Jarmusch. "Fly Farm Blues" is released on a special one sided 45 RPM vinyl by Third Man Records and on iTunes today. Sony Pictures Classics will release the film It Might Get Loud in selected theaters in New York and Los Angeles starting this Friday, August 14th and coming soon to a city near you.
It Might Get Loud tells the personal stories, in their own words, of three generations of electric guitar virtuosos – The Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White. It reveals how each developed his unique sound and style of playing favorite instruments, guitars both found and invented. Concentrating on the artist's musical rebellion, traveling with him to influential locations, provoking rare discussion as to how and why he writes and plays, this film lets you witness intimate moments and hear new music from each artist. The movie revolves around a day when Jimmy Page, Jack White, and The Edge first met and sat down together to share their stories, teach and play.
Don't miss seeing Jack White in this Davis Guggenheim directed documentary that opens in select theaters in Los Angeles and New York on August 14th, with further showings in theaters across the US after that.

On September 18th, the Toronto Film Festival will host the premier of The White Stripes: Under Great White Northern Lights, a film documenting the band's tour across Canada in the summer of 2007. Directed by Emmett Malloy, who had worked with the band on past music videos, the film captures a very unique look into the on and off stage lives of Jack and Meg White through a series of shows which included not only traditional venues, but also matinee gigs at unusual performance venues such as a bowling alley, on a boat and even on a city bus - culminating in a momentous 10th anniversary show at the legendary Savoy Theater in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia.
The tour showcased in Under Great White Northern Lights was born shortly after the release of their 6th and most recent album Icky Thump, when The White Stripes embarked on a tour that would allow them to perform in every province and territory in Canada, from B.C. to Newfoundland to Nunavut. With this goal in mind, the band welcomed Emmett Malloy on the road, providing him unprecedented access which enabled him to create the very visual and emotive feature length film, uniquely capturing one of the world's biggest and certainly most enigmatic bands playing to crowds in towns of all sizes across Canada.
In a captivating mix of striking live footage and poignant off-stage moments, this documentary is a celebration of The White Stripes' 10 year history, bringing the band full circle in their career to a place reminiscent of how they first started out; shows where no one knew who they were, and where they were left to make a first impression with their music. With this compelling view into the band's career, Under Great White Northern Lights will in turn allow fans to reminisce about where they were when they first heard The White Stripes as well as adding another impressive piece of work to their already stunning artistic cannon.
