How’s this for a super group…Jack White of The White Stripes, Alison Mosshart of the Kills, Jack Lawrence of White’s side project Raconteurs, and Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Dean Fertita; United as one they call themselves The Dead Weather and their debut album, Horehound is due out in June.

The album’s producer, White, plays drums on the record (and also sings). The album was recorded in just three weeks at White’s Third-Man studio-label complex in Nashville.

Other promising releases due out this spring:
Neil Young “Fork in the Road,” on 4/7
Silversun Pickups “Swoon” 4/14
Bob Dylan “Together Through Life” 4/28
Lil Wayne “Rebirth” in May
Also in May, Green Day “21st Century Breakdown”
Eminem “Relapse” 5/18
Conor Oberst Outer South” 5/19
Mos Def “The Ecstatic” and Sonic Youth “The Eternal” 6/9
Wilco, also, will have a new album out sometime in June. Needless to say, it will be a good time for music lovers in the coming months.
