Press Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- "There's no denying the quartet know how to work a mighty groove as well as set up atmospheres similar to bands remanded to the faded pages of old record-collecting magazines Alternative Press (p.126)
...as you hit repeat to hear HOREHOUND for the umpteenth time, what's remarkable is that these 11 tunes, with their sonic curveballs and casual vim, suggest that a second Dead Weather LP would be almost as welcome as The White Stripes' seventh Mojo
The foursome weave a dizzying web of traditions into their own rough-hewn sound, dragging vestiges of alt-rock, punk and blues through the mud to achieve an album rife with brash dissonance Paste
The songs on Horehound don't so much rock as writhe, reinstituting the idea of the blues as a sinister, morally corrupting force that's as much the province of voodoo priests and witch doctors as musicians Pitchfork
With Raconteurs bassist Jack Lawrence and guitarist-organist Dean Fertita helping out, the pair cut Horehound in three weeks, but these are all top-notch songs, rooted in Seventies dirtbag rock Rolling Stone

Comments about COLUMBIA Dead Weather - Horehound:
Down and dirty is the best way to describe this album by Jack White, Alison Mosshart, Dean Fertita and Jack Lawrence. It sounds like a great White Stripes album from another dirtier and "grungier" Universe. I must admit that the Raconteurs never really did it for me although their first single was almost pop/rock perfection. This is not like that. It sounds like the whole band are having a ball and yes it sounds like a real band. Although I have heard others disagree I love the version of Bob Dylan's New Pony. It is one of the highlights but there are many to enjoy here.
Pros
- Engaging
- Great Lyrics

Comments about COLUMBIA Dead Weather - Horehound:
These songs are really funny and crazy. Jack White never gets wrong with sounds, and Alison Mosshart is the present PJ Harvey. I'd like to add that along with Humbug by Arctic Monkeys and Primary Colours by the Horrors, this is the best rock record I've listened during 2009.

Comments about COLUMBIA Dead Weather - Horehound:
I cannot stop listening to it. I buy CD's all the time, but I keep coming back to this one, listening to it on max volume in the car, at work.
My fav track is "60 Feet Tall", which wasn't even a single, but there are other smash songs like "I cut like a buffalo", "Hang You From The Heavens" and "Treat Me Like Your Mother".
I would recommend it to all rock music fans!

Comments about COLUMBIA Dead Weather - Horehound:
Horehound needs a few listens before reveiling itself. But my goodness, what a catchy trip one gets as a result! One gets rock music at its purest, exciting, intriguing and dynamic. Once the record is under your skin, it doesn't let go. Very nice work.
