Add Date: May 18
Artist: The Dead Weather
Album: Sea of Cowards
Label: Third Man
Genre: Rock/Blues
Comments: This is Jack White at his most unhinged and grungy. Featuring his legendary guitar playing, the signer from The Kills, and both the bassist and keyboardist from Queens of the Stone Age, this album never ceases to rock out loud. Sea of Cowards is foaming with down and dirty blues riffs. It manages to return to the grassroots of rock n' roll, while infusing it with a new-age groove reminiscent of The Raconteurs. It's the kind of back-street nastiness that is difficult to find in rock these days. But it is safe to say that such music will be far from dead, as long as Jack White has anything to say about it.
The whole album clocks in at about 35 minutes, pretty short for bloated modern standards, but it will feel just right when the final song comes to a screeching end, and you almost inevitably start it up from the beginning again. Extremely catchy, solidly groovy, and at its absolute core, the amalgamation of anger and sadness that exemplifies the birth of rock n' roll. You need this.
