“I Cut Like A Buffalo” by The Dead Weather

"I Cut Like a Buffalo" sits third on Horehound, the Dead Weather's 2009 album, and became the record's third single after "Hang You from the Heavens" and "Treat Me Like Your Mother". Jack White wrote it alone and produced it from behind the drum kit, mixing with engineer Vance Powell, and he shares the vocals with Alison Mosshart, who also plays guitar and percussion. Dean Fertita handles guitar, organ, piano and synth, Jack Lawrence plays bass, and both chip in backing vocals.

The single's flip side reached back to vintage garage psych with a cover of "A Child of a Few Hours Is Burning to Death", first done by the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. It drew remixers too: dubstep producer Skream took a crack at it, though his version never came out commercially, and so did Gramatik.
