Episode 66 – Launching the Dead Weather

s the world waits for a new Jack White album with a drastically different sound, The Third Men Podcast looks back at the last drastic departure for Jack White: The Dead Weather. Following the towering success of both the long-established White Stripes and the hit-making "super"-group The Raconteurs, the last thing anyone expected Jack White to do was to launch a third group in which he would take a back seat to a front woman whose charism could easily match his own. It's the kind of left turn that gave us the Dead Weather, the psychedelic goth-rock that divided fans and baffled listeners nearly a decade before "Boarding House Reach". In this episode we take a look at how Jack rolled this new group out, and the steps a growing (and learning) Third Man Records took as a newly-christened storefront and self-supporting record label, to a stumbled LP release and premature concert dates! Also in this episode we're joined by Third Man of the week, musician, singer and songwriter Connor Flynn, aka Black Jack Davey, who discusses his latest release "Meet Black Jack Davey"! Will there be enough water when this podcast comes in? Yes, yes there will.
