The Dead Weather – I Cut Like A Buffalo


Posted October 6, 2009 in Music Reviews

Despite coming up with the goods by producing this year’s Horehound LP, The Dead Weather still have to shake off the annoying side-project tag. Regardless of this handicap, White, Mosshart & Co continue to form by releasing one of the best cuts from the album. Opening with the line “I look like a woman but I cut like a buffalo”, the tune is more immediate and destined for single release than most Dead Weather material. While the album rarely strays from rock n roll territory, ‘I Cut Like A Buffalo’ brandishes an almost reggae/ska infused beat, tripping its way into your memory. Mosshart and White’s vocals are layered together and sport that inexplicable don’t give a fuck attitude they do so well. On a side note, make sure to check out the Circus Freak/Twin Peaks-inspired video for a cameo by Irish legend BP Fallon.
