It's no secret that I'm in awe of Jack White's talent and musicianship. He never fails to deliver and does so again with The Dead Weather's debut album, Horehound. I'll spare you the cliche review, especially because the band gives you ample opportunity to listen for yourself (free of charge).
Just let me advise you not to go in expecting White Stripes or Raconteurs. Characteristically, White stays within certain confines he sets for himself (such as color codes and conservative production) while establishing something that is 100% authentic and original. It's dark, bluesy and beautifully gritty and imperfect...a product of intuition and soul from a group of true artists. Thanks, to all of you, for giving us something that's been elusive in the music world lately. Thanks for giving us something we can feel. It's truly refreshing.
P.S. A video from the band. I found it amusing:
If you prefer, watch on the band's YouTube channel.
