July 10, 2009 - The Dead Weather is yet another rock 'n' roll supergroup, but it happens to be a particularly ferocious and acclaimed one. The band's debut, Horehound, is shaping up to be one of the year's best rock albums. Listen to the new record here in its entirety, and on Tuesday, hear The Dead Weather perform these songs in a full concert, webcast live on NPR Music.

The group features Jack White of The White Stripes and Kills singer Alison Mosshart, along with Queens of the Stone Age guitarist-keyboardist Dean Fertita and bassist Jack Lawrence (both of whom also play with White in The Raconteurs).

The Dead Weather's sound is rooted in blues-infused rock, but with Mosshart, the expected dynamic has shifted. Except for singing and offering up the occasional guitar solo, White — the group's most widely recognized member — stalks in the shadows behind the drums, allowing Mosshart command of the foreground. Really, she's the breakout star.
