Two of my favorite albums of the past decade involve Mark Lanegan : his solo album Bubblegum and his first collaboration with Isobel Campbell , Ballad of the Broken Seas . I know his work with Campbell is supposed to be her showcase rather than his, but I am a much bigger fan of his grittier work and aesthetic. As a fairly recent fan, I’d only ever seen him perform live one time, a couple years ago at a Gutter Twins show. That was pretty fun, but I was more interested in the Isobel Campbell pair…
