Music: The Dead Weather
Apparently the White Stripes and Raconteurs just weren’t enough for the Musical Force of Nature known as Jack White. The Guitar God from Detroit Rock City recently opened an office for his vinyl-driven Third Man Records deep in the heart of Nashville. The new digs house not only the label’s offices, but a vinyl record store, a photo studio/dark room and a rehearsal and performance space. But that’s not all White debuted in Music City. He also rolled out a kick-ass new four-piece band known as The Dead Weather, whose debut LP, “Horehound”, was produced and recorded by White at Third Man, and has fast become the talk of the music world since its release a few weeks ago. With The Dead Weather, White turns guitar duties over to former Raconteur and Queens of the Stone Age touring member Dean Fertita, while he climbs behind the drum kit and provides assisting vocals. Lead vocals are handled masterfully and menacingly by the Kills’ Alison Mosshart, while Raconteurs bassist Jack Lawrence rounds out the group. Like much of White’s music, The Dead Weather’s sound can be a bit tough to classify. Rolling Stone described it as “a sludgy, bluesy blend of psych-rock guitar, alternately stark and explosive rhythms and Mosshart’s sultry-to-siren vocal”, while tough-to-please Pitchfork says it “delves even deeper into the blues’ swampy roots and devil’s-music deviancy, but in a manner that’s every bit as stylized, sexually charged, and trashy as an episode of "True Blood"”. Whatever you call it, there’s no doubt that it rocks hard. And there’s no doubt that White’s love for the Blues colors and shapes the resultant sound.
Check out this blistering five-song set The Dead Weather did for From The Basement, and make your own decision. And here's the video for Treat Me Like Your Mother directed by Jonathan Glazer.
