The Dead Weather - Dodge And Burn
The Dead Weather - Dodge And Burn
The Dead Weather is a super-group made up of vocalist Alison Mosshart (The Kills), drummer/guitarist/occasional vocalist Jack White (!), bassist Jack Lawrence (City & Colour), and keyboardist/guitarist Dean Fertita (Queens Of The Stone Age). They play aggressive blues rock with a spirit of experimentation.
Obviously there’s a hell of a lot of rock royalty in this band, and this seems to be the place where they cut loose and try stuff. Certainly you wouldn’t hear a song as weird as Three Dollar Hat on any of these musicians' main projects. Well... maybe Jack White.
But despite that looseness, there’s a remarkable consistency in the quality of the songs and playing. It’s just a really fun listen back to front.

Highlights: Buzzkill(er) • Three Dollar Hat • Rough Detective
