I put your heart in a vault
That’s how I get the things I want
If you follow me on Twitter, you will notice that I’ve been gushing a lot about Jack White’s newest project, The Dead Weather. I have to admit, anything Jack White usually belongs very close to my husband’s heart. I almost feel strange claiming a Jack White project as my own but I cannot help it. The second I heard their album, HoreHound, I was completely hooked.
Now Jack White isn’t the only talent involved in the band, in fact, The Dead Weather is considered a “super group” made up of Alison Mosshart of The Kills (another amazing band), Dean Fertita of Queens of the Stoneage and Jack Lawrence of The Raconteurs. The product sounds like a bluesy throwback to 70’s rock, which I am naturally drawn to (hello, Led Zeppelin).
As of now, The Dead Weather are not touring many cities and unfortunately the limited tour does not include South Florida, or Florida in general. I hope they draw enough of a crowd and sell enough records to extend their tour because my heart would bust with joy if I were able to see them live. Their tracks have the ability to brighten the worst of days and create an instant karaoke bar in my car. For those of you lucky Rock Band owners, three Dead Weather tracks are now available. Sadly, I own Guitar Hero World Tour but that doesn’t stop me from jamming out in my living room any time I listen to the record.
My favorite tracks?
– I Cut Like a Buffalo
– Treat Me Like Your Mother
– Bone House
– New Pony (Bob Dylan cover)
If you like what you hear (& see!), please pick up the album. You will not be disappointed!
