PRAISE FOR ENTERING HEAVEN ALIVE:

Entering Heaven Alive recalls nothing so much asa beautiful 1970s singer-songwriter record, albeit with some excursions intostring-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 youof what a song craftsman he can be…” – Rolling Stone 

“Not quite acoustic, yet certainly introspective, Entering Heaven Alive is subtleand reflective, emphasizing pop melodies and flirting witha 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
