Two More Artists Join Third Man Records’ Blue Series


As if Jack White didn’t have enough projects with running a recording studio, juggling three bands and a family, he’s gone and taken two more bands under his production wing.

Folk-pop duo First Aid Kit and psych-rockers Dungen will both take part in Third Man Records’ Blue Series of singles releases. The singles are produced by Jack White and recorded at his Third Man Studios in Nashville. The series has featured releases from Wanda Jackson and Secret Sisters among others.

Dungen created two tracks for the series, “Oga Nasa Mum” (translates to “Eyes Nose Mouth”) and “Highway Wolf.” First Aid Kit decided to do a couple of covers, featuring Buffy Sainte-Marie’s “Universal Soldier” and the classic blues song “It Hurts Me Too.”

Both artists’ series will be available in January, the 11th for Dungen and the 18th for First Aid Kit on Third Man Records.
