The highlight of the show, for this listener anyway, was the final song of the encore: an fierce rendition of Bob Dylan's "New Pony" from the 1978 album Street-Legal. (The cover also appears on Horehound, the Dead Weather's recently released debut album.) The song, I suppose, shouldn't have come as a surprise, given that the White Stripes have previously covered Dylan's "One More Cup of Coffee", as well as his arrangement of the traditional "Blackjack Davie"... All the same, it was a delightful and surprising finish to a fantastic festival. Time to start looking forward to next year's Bluesfest.

The final night of Ottawa's Bluesfest finished with all the thunder and excitement a grand finale deserves. Jack White's new super-group, The Dead Weather (featuring members of Queens of the Stone Age, The Kills and The Raconteurs, along with White) took the stage at eight to deliver an incredibly rocking set that was enthusiastically embraced by the crowd.
