As he continues to distance himself from his estranged sister, Jack White has recently added yet another side project to his list of musical monikers. White unveiled new band The Dead Weather at a private Nashville gig earlier in March. Although White was named the #17 “Greatest Guitarist of All Time” (I would have to object), he takes on the roll of drummer and shares vocal duties with The Kills frontwoman Alison Mosshart. White did contribute some guitar on the forthcoming Dead Weather album, Horehound due June 9, but yielded lead guitar to Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Dean Fertita and bass to his The Raconteurs bandmate Jack Lawrence. “This is about the physicality of music,” White told Paste magazine. “It’s music you can smell, touch”¦taste if you want to.” I don’t know if I want to taste anything Jack White has touched.
