When I first heard of Jack White's new project, The Dead Weather, I was somewhat intrigued and little skeptical. I love Jack Whites other bands, The White Stripes and the Raconteurs. I didn't know how I felt about having Jack White on drums, not on guitar or vocals. The other thing I questioned was the fact that the lead singer is a chick. Not to say that there is anything wrong with chick lead singers, but we all know that chicks can't always rock as hard as guys. Well a great man once said, "Don't ask fucking questions!" And thats what I should have done from the beginning. I should have never questioned the legitimacy of any project that Jack White is involved in. He shares vocals with a the former lead singer of the kills, Allison Mosshart. Mosshart has a great rock n roll voice and really seems to be gettin er done on this album. I should have know that Jack White would not be spending time around her if she did not at least rock out. Guitar backing comes from Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Dean Fertita and bass is played by Raconteur's bassist Jack Lawrence. I highly recommend checking out Horehound by The Dead Weather. Any Jack White fan will not be disappointed. I was a little discouraged by the singles released online before the album, so get the whole album before you make any judgement. This album rocks harder than most that have come out this year. You can check out some videos of The Dead Weather here.
Check out a crazy music video for The Dead Weather: Treat Me Like Your Mother.
