"Blue Blood Blues" is the spot on the Dead Weather's Sea of Cowards where the band starts to sound like a Jack White solo record with company. Third Man Records put it out digitally in June 2010 as the album's second single, and White's vocal crowds so far forward that it seems to bury singer Alison Mosshart's, which is why Antiquiet flagged it as an oddity for the group.
Underneath, it's blues rock with the knuckles scraped raw: Jack Lawrence's bass is all fuzz and growl, and Dean Fertita's guitar skids and grinds through runs that Spin reckoned worthy of Black Sabbath. NME put it on a list of 20 thrilling White songs, Elle named it one of 10 essential tracks he produced, and TV grabbed it for E4's Misfits and Showtime's United States of Tara.
