22. The Dead Weather

22. The Dead Weather-
Horehound

I rarely get excited about something when it is over-hyped and that's exactly the way I felt when this LP came out earlier this year. It got a lot of hype and why not...a Jack White side-project...right? But, I put it on the back-burner and didn't give it a good listen until this fall and boy, was I wrong. What an amazing synthesis of blues, rock, and hip-hop....Alison Mosshart's (The Kills) vocals are powerful and evocative. Jack White is actaully the drummer in this group, with Dean Fertita (Queens of the Stone Age) on guitar and organ. A veritable who's who in Indie Rock. So, I guess what I'm saying is believe the hype and buy this album.
