The Dead Weather

Lyric Writing with Alison Mosshart (video)

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Oct 9, 2015

The Dead Weather have been unfurling a series of live performance videos and turorials in support of their new Dodge & Burn LP. They've now gone ahead and delivered the fourth and final instalment of the series, which combines a candid talk with vocalist Alison Mosshart with a run-through of "Lose the Right."

As you'll discover, Mosshart takes the wheel during a literally on-the-road interview to discuss lyrics and inspiration. It's a fitting location, as she brings up that she often puts the pen to paper while driving, saying, "Ideas just tend to come at that time."

The interview was filmed by passenger/bandmate Jack White, while a hedgehog appears to also be enjoying the ride.

After the interview wraps, we're treated to a performance of the organ-heavy, '70s arena rock stomp of "Lose the Right." You'll find the black and white clip of Dead Wetaher kicking out the jam down below.
