Horehound by The Dead Weather
Horehound is an album by The Dead Weather, released in 2009. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 16 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Treat Me Like Your Mother”, on 8 lists with a best position of #15.
Horehound, the debut from the Dead Weather, arrived in North America on July 14, 2009, having landed in Australia and Europe a few days earlier. This Nashville supergroup pulled together Alison Mosshart from the Kills, Jack White from the White Stripes, Dean Fertita from Queens of the Stone Age and Jack Lawrence from the Greenhornes, with White and Lawrence both on loan from the Raconteurs too. They cut it at Third Man Studios in a three-week session that January, with White producing.
It's a swampy, sinister blues-rock record, all fuzzed-out riffs, lurching rhythms and Mosshart's snarl coiling around every song like smoke. "Hang You From the Heavens" came first, on iTunes on March 11, 2009, then on vinyl in April; "Treat Me Like Your Mother" followed in May, and "I Cut Like a Buffalo" was lined up as the third single. The album debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and No. 14 in the UK.
