PRAISE FOR ENTERING HEAVEN ALIVE:
“Entering Heaven Alive recalls nothing so much as a beautiful 1970s singer-songwriter record, albeit with some excursions into string-band sounds, jazzy piano solos and classic shuffles.” - Variety “This master musician really sounds like he’s enjoying himself and the results are pretty heavenly.” - Daily Telegraph "Entering Heaven Alive is flush with surprisingly nimble and fluid melodies that remind you of what a song craftsman he can be..." - Rolling Stone "Not quite acoustic, yet certainly introspective, Entering Heaven Alive is subtle and reflective, emphasizing pop melodies and flirting with a variety of musical styles." - Consequence “Possibly White’s best record to date.” - Irish Times “This new record, however, sounds like White’s own personal output; it’s patient, intimate, and makes us feel at one with White’s songwriting prowess. Everything a solo record ought to be.” - Far Out Magazine "Entering Heaven Alive is a joy to sink into and overall one of the most easily accessible and best of Jack White’s solo career." - Glide Magazine
