Jack White's Third Man Records have announced plans to reissue singles by Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison and DA Hunt as part of a partnership it has with Sun Records. As Uncut previously reported, Third Man have already reissued three Sun 7"s - Johnny Cash's "Get Rhythm", Rufus Thomas' "Bear Cat" and The Prisonaires' "Just Walking In The Rain" on May 21.

In the absence of a new Tom Waitsalbum... here's a photobook made in conjunction with Anton Corbijn...

Tom Waits and Anton Corbijn have announced that they will be joining forces on a new photographic book. Titled '77-'11, it will feature over 200 pages of portraits of Waits taken by photographer-turned-film director Corbijn. It will also include over 50 pages of photographs and musings by Waits himself and will feature an introduction from director Jim Jarmusch. The book will document the artistic relationship between the pair, which started in 1977 when Corbijn first photographed Waits in Holland.
