Nashville — The invitation indicated only that the party on Wednesday night here was the “grand opening of Third Man Records.” But the 150 fans, friends and members of the media who showed up to the small warehouse in an industrial section of Nashville were given more than a tour of Jack White’s new label offices – they were present for the announcement and the debut of Mr. White’s new band, the Dead Weather.
In his primary group, the White Stripes, Mr. White is known as one of rock’s finest guitarists. In the new band, though, he plays drums. Alison Mosshart, of the London-based duo the Kills, is the lead singer; Dean Fertita of Queens of the Stone Age plays guitar; and Jack Lawrence, from Mr. White’s other band, the Raconteurs, is the bassist. The 11 songs on the “Horehound” album – 10 originals and a yowling cover of Bob Dylan’s “New Pony” – are spare and sexy, with vocals often distorted or submerged beneath grinding, snaky rhythms. (The first single, “Hang You From the Heavens,” was immediately made available on iTunes; the full album will be released in June.)
The five-song set the Dead Weather performed in the small space at the rear of the offices had a garage-blues feel, more physical than the recordings. “Tonight was the first time I played drums on stage since I was a teenager,” Jack White said in an interview after the show. “I wanted to look at the music from a new angle, and it gets me back to the structure of how songs are created.”
Nashville royalty like Sheryl Crow and Martina McBride joined the party, and White Stripes fans needn’t fret: Meg White was there too, smiling.
They must be good friends because in the last couple of years, not a year goes by without them doing something together. I think it must have started somewhere in 2004, when Jack White suddenly appeared at a concert in Detroit. Bob showed so much respect for Jack that he covered a White Stripes song, called “Ball and Bisquit” (hear it here).
Then, in 2006, The Raconteurs – Jack White’s so called side project – was allowed to tour along with Bob Dylan as the warm up act.
In September 2007, Dylan did a couple of shows in Nashville, the city where Jack White lives. For two nights in a row, Jack came on stage to perform some very special songs.
Meet me in the Morning from the 1975 album Blood on the Tracks got it’s live debut on the first night.
The second night, Outlaw Blues was performed for the very first time (and this is a song from 1965!!) and One More Cup of Coffee from Desire got it’s first live performance since 1993.
Besides that, The White Stripes are known to include Bob Dylan covers in their repertoire. Songs like Outlaw Blues, Love Sick and One More Cup Of Coffee have become regular songs for the Stripes.
Furthermore, on the album Get Behind me Satan from 2005 there is a more subtle reference. Near the end of the album there’s a song called “As Ugly As I Seem“. Lyrically, there is no link to Dylan whatsoever but anybody who’s somewhat familiar with Bob Dylan’s repertoire immediately recognizes I Believe in You, one of the highlights of the 1979 Slow Train Coming album.
Although it is not a cover and not a literal reference, I believe this is a very clear melodic nod in the direction of Bob Dylan.
Hear it for yourself in the clips below.

Album : Consolers Of the Lonely Artist : Raconteurs Release Date : 2008 Lable : Warner Bros. Genre : Rock Total time : 00:55:30 Total size : 110 MB

So, just how is Consolers of the Lonely? It’s good. Quite good. And is easily the better of the two Raconteurs albums so far.
But the very things that made the band seem like it could be more than just another Jack White project aren’t emphasized in the way they need to be.
The result is a seriously solid rock album with flashes of genre brilliance.

Interesting piece from the bastion of Britrock and music hype, NME!
The White Stripes star sheds light on Hank Williams project
Jack White has spoken about his work on a project organised by Bob Dylan.
Dylan asked a series of musicians to write music for a set of unfinished lyrics by country singer Hank Williams.
White, who has now recorded his version of the Williams lyrics ‘You Know That I Know’ in Nashville, explained: “[Bob] came upon, somehow, 20-25 unfinished songs by Hank Williams, just the lyrics, no music, and he started to ask people if they would finish these songs.
“He did one, asked Willie Nelson to do one, asked me to do one, and I think Lucinda Williams and Alan Jackson are on it too. I think it might come out this year. It’s a cool record.”
Speaking to MTV News, White also hinted that he has yet another musical project on the go, in addition to his work with The White Stripes and The Raconteurs.
He said: “There’s some other stuff I have coming out, but I can’t tell you about it all just yet. You’ll have to be patient!”
