The Dead Weather combines the furious talents of members Alison Mosshart, Jack White, Jack Lawrence and Dean Fertita. The follow up to last year’s #6 Billboard debut, Sea of Cowards, is a robust & vigorous 2nd act filled with primal, bone quaking rock rhythms & the same stellar urban blues & throbbing sleaze as its predecessor.
