Alternative Blues

Posted less than a year, I think in the summer of 2009, it was not a big seller, although the band composition contains all possibilities.
Alison Mosshart of the Kills (vocals), Jack Lawrence, The Raconteurs (Bass), Dean Fertita, Queens of the Stone Age (guitar) and White Stripes- mastermind Jack White (drums, not true guitar and a bit of singing) are from Paper forth a collective that upscale alternative rock suggests.
Alternative rock? At first hearing, along the way and in not so high volume immediately notice that this disc definitely not easy listening. And also no alternative rock, but rather an alternative blues when there is something at all.
But one by one. Again the CD purely in the player, volume slider to the right and from the post:
60 Feet Tall, very good start, Blues distorted with distorted Voc., The drums rumble before him guitar, I like very much.
Hang You from the Heavens, an alternative-cracker made by Queens of the Stone Age, but a thousand times similar to hear average.
I cut like a buffalo, a highly unusual reggae piece with organ, which sets the rhythm, class. Also again distorted vocals, Jack White sings? Maybe. I can not answer it.
So Far From Your Weapon sounds like Jefferson Airplane, song without solo, percussion class, the chorus like it very much
Treat me like your Mother unfortunately only average food
Rocking Horse beautiful Western style song
New Pony again Qotsa Song, had also can not do better, and again crying the blues after liberation
Bone House again ne organ and drum machine from the very cheap variety, but why not, wenns so sounds like here.
3 Birds, nice bass work, the drums drive the Instumentalstück before him almost a surf song or a piece of the Shadows
No Hassle Night, a thunderstorm opener, could also be a White Stripes album to land, although the bass work does not appear in the white stripes so, I find it very successful, also at the end like the slide guitar.
Will there be enough water The highlight of the disc, with blues great feeling, Jack White sings again, the piano brings variety, reduced the rhythm work on the basics.

In summary, the disc is worth only because the grand finale 'Will there be enough water', but you get a few more pieces to class. All musicians bring in the overall sound and convince instrumental.
Jack White is for me the blues musicians of the decade, and he continues to surprise, even with his third band to The White Stripes and Raconteurs to. But Dead Weather is not only white, but much more, but that one has to work out for themselves. This will open a horizon of unusual songs that extend the Blues and also limit again and shouting after the addition. Encore? Yes, there is already a successor album, but that's another story.
