JACK WHITE’S LATEST PROJECT: THE DEAD WEATHER
The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and now The….Dead Weather? That’s the name of Jack White’s newest band, composed of White, The Kills‘ Alison Mosshart, The Raconteur’s Jack Lawrence, and Dean Fertita from Queens of the Stone Age. It’s like an indie rock super group, the only bad news is that the band’s first single, “Hang You From the Heavens,” isn’t graced by White’s vocals, but his skilled production is evident from the harsh opening riff. Listen below:
It’s depressing to see Jack White’s name attached to a project where he doesn’t lend his unique and earth shattering vocals. Seems like a waste. They should go back and record another version of that song with Jack singing lead – I mean the chick is o.k., but that’s the problem, she’s just ‘o.k.’ But from a musical standpoint, the song sounds great.
Jack White’s label, Third Man Records, hosted The Dead Weather last night in Nashville, Tennessee for their first gig to a modest crowd of 150 people. The band’s debut album, Horehound, is set to release in June and you can purchase the single on iTunes now.
