The lead single from The Dead Weather's 2nd album will be 'Die By The Drop', with B-side 'Old Mary', to be released March 23rd, 2010.

What's even more exciting is your first listen to the new album. Amazon.com have added The Dead Weather's first single from the forthcoming album to their catalog. Current you can only listen to 30 second grabs, but it's undeniably Jack White and Alison Mosshart on vocals, and the recording is definitely in-the-studio (so no chance of a hoax here). Unfortunately, the full length versions are unavailable until the release date.

Could this mean the band are preparing to launch the album? Well if we go by the previous album 'Horehound', the album was released almost four months to the day after the initial single 'Hang You From The Heavens'. If the same schedule hold true for this album, we may be looking at a July release. Album is due for release May 7th.
