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?
And now onto a couple albums from Soulsavers that Mark Lanegan was essentially the lead singer and co-writer for. I knew the first track on 'It's Not How Far You Fall, It's the Way You Land' immediately, KEXP must've played this one tons or something and I just didn't realize it wasn't a Mark Lanegan album.
Edit: Thought this was a strange song to pick as the single but then I got to "Spiritual", and now I'm like 'why so much Jeebus?!'
Soulsavers - "Revival" (2007)
Kimberley@buffyleigh I haven’t listened to Soulsavers in far too long, thanks for the reminder
@Kimberley Do you know what their deal was? Were they actually a religious group or just liked using religious tinged stuff in their songs?
@buffyleigh I don’t think they’re religious but I don’t actually know. I always interpreted Revival as metaphorical, more spiritual awakening than religious
@Kimberley i can't really find info so that's what i assume too. i come from a religious background though so i always wonder when encountering familiar imagery
