Sheryl Crow, Martina McBride and Meg White, were among more than 150 guests at a private party to hear the debut Dead Weather album Horehound and to see a live performance by the group earlier today in Nashville. Jack White says the album will be released in June on his Third Man record label and that the band plans to tour throughout this year.

Editors Note: This is not the first time Jack White has played drums in a band before.  White played drums in the Detroit area bands Goober & The Peas and Two Star Tabernacle in the mid 1990′s with Dan Miller of Blanche.
