Un nuovo album dopo l’estate per Mark Lanegan, già reduce dal progetto con Duke Garwood “Black Pudding”, pubblicato quest’anno.
Il nuovo disco solista si intitolerà Imitations ed uscirà il 17 settembre per Vagrant Records; si tratta di un album di cover, come afferma lo stesso Mark:
“When I was a kid in the late sixties and early seventies, my parents and their friends would play the records of Andy Williams, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Perry Como, music with string arrangements and men singing songs that sounded sad whether they were or not. At home my folks were also listening to country music, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, George Jones and Vern Gosdin were some of our favorites. For a long time I’ve wanted to make a record that gave me the same feeling those old records did, using some of the same tunes I loved as a kid and some that I’ve loved as I have gotten older. This record is it. Imitations.”
