Back in 2001, Jack White started his own record Label called Third Man Records. However, it wasn’t until 2009 when he moved to Nashville that he actually purchased a space to turn his dream into a reality. When asked why it took so long to get running, he responded by saying:

“For the longest time, I did not want to have my own studio gear, mostly because with the White Stripes I wanted to have the constriction of going into a studio and having a set time of 10 days or two weeks to finish an album, and using whatever gear they happen to have there. After 10 to 15 years of recording like that, I felt that it was finally time for me to have my own place to produce music.”
