This time out Jack hooks up with The Dead Weather for “Gasoline”, which is previewed from the band’s second studio release, Sea Of Cowards, available everywhere May 11 via Third Man/Warner Bros. GET IT. also, check this perfomance of “Will There Be Enough Water?” live at Coachella 2010 below. Jack comes out from behind the kit for an excellent version of Horehound’s closing track.
