Play Me: “Pentacostal” by Mark Lanegan and Duke Garwood
Having previously teamed with Isobel Campbell and Greg Dulli on separate projects, grunge survivor, Mark Lanegan is no stranger to the collaborative album. His latest effort, however, an album recorded with English bluesman, Duke Garwood, may have you heading for google as you hit play. Garwood's name doesn't come with much recognition on this side of the Atlantic. Fret not. Lanegan is said to be a huge fan of Garwood's and "P...READ MORE
Not Released, But Sounded Sweet in 2012: Selections from a Year of Record Collecting
Eric's Trip - Songs About Chris (1993) With our pocket computers running Shazam, Spotify, YouTube and Google, it's nearly impossible to lose a song due to a lapse in human memory any more.

That's the power of having the voice of Rock 'N' Roll. Blues Funeral, Lanegan's first solo collection since 2004's Bubblegum, pre...READ MORE
“The Gravedigger’s Song” by The Mark Lanegan Band
I'm not going to lie. Mark Lanegan could release an album of Katy Perry covers and I'd not only listen to it, but I'd probably put down cash money for it, too. Now, that's not to say quality doesn't matter when it comes to the output of the one time Screaming Trees frontman. Rather, his voice is so captivating -- Deep, smoky, lonesome, and in the case of "Gravedigger's Song," from his soon to be released album, Blues Funeral,...READ MORE
