More recently, he's been associated with Nashville. He moved there, opened his first Third Man Records there, and ensconced himself in his adopted home. Hey, Nashville is a music city, perhaps even the Music City, so that makes sense for an artist such as White. Recently, White was given the key to a city. You might guess Detroit. You might guess Nashville. However, it was Cincinnati.
White has been a longtime supporter of the old King Records company and also the King Records building.
Yes, Cincinnati, Ohio. Was it because Cincinnati is pretty much at a midway point between Detroit and Nashville? That would be fun, but that's not the case. White has been a longtime supporter of the old King Records company and also the King Records building. The studio was recently bought by the city to save it from demolition, it’s a historic site now. Bootsy Collins, himself a former King artist, was on hand for the ceremony as well.
So, for being a weird dude who fetishizes old music, White now has a key to Cincinnati. That's more than most of us can say.
