Record Review from web archive December 28, 2008
Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan
Any time interesting male and female singers team up, the comparisons are obvious and tempting: Lee Hazlewood & Nancy Sinatra, Johnny Cash & June Carter, George Jones & Tammy Wynette, and so on. Yet the differences between those famous duos and the pairing of Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan are more telling than the similarities. [...]

Gutter Twins – Saturnalia
Elegant gloom is the shared gene between the Gutter Twins, a new duo pairing two of the more enigmatic figures of the 1990s alternative nation: Mark Lanegan of the Screaming Trees, an early architect of grunge in the northwest, and Greg Dulli, who fronted the Afghan Whigs and later the Twilight Singers, a collective which [...]

Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan – Ballad Of The Broken Seas
Isobel Campbell is a doe-eyed chanteuse who used to sing and bow cello for the Scottish indie-pop sensation Belle & Sebastian. Mark Lanegan is a stone-faced and gravel-voiced American rock singer who led Screaming Trees and assisted Queens Of The Stone Age. Their joining looks strange on paper, but on Ballad Of The Broken Seas, [...]

Mark Lanegan – Bubblegum
If you have no tolerance for revolving-door “recovering” addicts who feel compelled to chronicle, on record after record, every opium-drenched near-death vision and every groveling plea for salvation, ex-Screaming Trees vocalist Mark Lanegan is not for you. Yet despite his embrace of the dark side, Lanegan’s redemption will always be that ruined, impossibly deep, Johnny [...]

Mark Lanegan – Field Songs
Mark Lanegan is what the late Bill Hicks would’ve called a ‘six-lighters-a-day man,’ sounding not only like he smokes cigarettes by the truckload, but eats the ashtrays too. When coupled with the heavy psychedelia of his former band the Screaming Trees, his ocean-deep, molasses-thick baritone resulted in sonic assaults of seismic proportions. However, his solo [...]

Mark Lanegan – I’ll Take Care Of You
Listening to Mark Lanegan on a bright, shimmering Saturday afternoon just seems so…wrong. Better to wait until you’re half shot-out at 2 a.m. the following Sunday morning and let the guy’s somber aura just wash over you. But since my days don’t regularly bleed into mornings, and I live in California, bright and sunny it [...]

Mark Lanegan – You might as well live
Razors pain you; Rivers are damp; Acids stain you; And drugs cause cramp. Guns aren’t lawful; Nooses give; Gas smells awful; You might as well live. – Dorothy Parker, “Résumé” The fingernails by which Mark Lanegan has been hanging these last few years — maybe his whole life — have been gnawed to the quick, [...]

Johnny Cash / Mark Lanegan – Rose Gardens (Portland, OR)
Rosy-fingered dusk tripped slowly down green terrace steps, folding chairs, sculpted roses, and halfway through Mark Lanegan’s second solo show settled an indirect glow across the stage. All in the time it took Lanegan to work through a half-dozen songs from his two solo albums and Willie Nelson’s “She’s Not For You”, recorded a day [...]
