THE MARK LANEGAN BAND "BLUES FUNERAL" CD,2012.
probably could have done this as a new release as its only been out for a month or so...but what the hell!
never heard of Mark, but Corey recommended this during my last visit and i got it...
never heard of Mark or his grunge band Screaming Trees, but i know Queens Of The Stoneage, a band for which he fronted as vocalist from 2000-2006,
this is his 7th solo album and around the twentieth of his career.
the album starts off quite slow,atmospheric to the point of being slightly Nick Cave-ish in places, the album then builds up through a mix of indi-pop with a tinge of Led Zep type blues in places also.
i have nothing to compare this one to so i do not know how it compares with his extensive back catalogue, but to me as a single album this is pretty good.
shame about the last track being the only one i do not like as it put a real dampener on the whole affair, and i love the album cover, it would look pretty good on the vinyl release.
