the buff who fell to earthGone 4 years today already. Damn.
Mark Lanegan - Whiskey for the Holy Ghost (1994)
So I guess I'm doing my Mark Lanegan discography listen-thru now. I didn't remember that J Mascis played drums for a couple songs on Whiskey for the Holy Ghost, and I'm sure I didn't know he played piano on a Scraps At Midnight track.
Holy moly, I'm not sure I've ever heard Mark Lanegan's collabs with Isobel Campbell before. Absolutely gorgeous.
Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - Ballad of the Broken Seas (2006)
Not sure why I don't already own a copy of this album, really dig the overall tone/vibe of this one.
Mark Lanegan Band - Blues Funeral (2012)
This droney, piano-plinky track might just be one of my favourite Lanegan songs. It's surprising how well his vocal style works with such different types of music.
Mark Lanegan & Duke Garwood - "Thank You" (2013)
I had missed a couple collab albums not listed as part of Mark Lanegan's discography, so now going backward to the one album he did with Greg Dulli for their project The Gutter Twins. I've never really paid attention to Dulli and Afghan Whigs. Should I?
Niels van Rongen@buffyleigh I saw him live three times. Once with Isobel Campbell, once solo for Blues Funeral and once with the Gutter Twins. I always wondered how he ended up with Campbell and Soulsavers (later replaced by Dave Gahan). He also did half an Unkle album. Also guest vox for a band like Creature with the Atom Brain. At some point he was everywhere.
@niels that's amazing. yeah, the list of collabs on his wikipedia discography page is rather ridiculous, lol.
@buffyleigh at that time I bought a lot of his collaborations. Mark is on it? A guaranteed sale. 😊
@niels gotta say, it took me a loooong time to come around. i literally deleted the Mad Season songs with him on it the first time i heard it, like a total dingbat (i only wanted to hear Layne). 🙃 i think it was watching Parts Unknown and hearing him every episode that fixed that.
