5 out of 5 stars Brilliant, Dark, and Sexy   November 25, 2008
Kevin P. Mccarthy (Florida)

When I was younger I was a HUGE Screaming Trees fan (until the Uncle Anesthesia)source of Mark Lanegan.While Nirvana was getting huge, the Trees were kinda overlooked. Fast forward and I really got into a lot of Scottish bands such as Teenage Fanclub, the Delgados, Arab Strap, and Belle and Sebastian (source of Isobel Campbell early on until she left). Campbell really shined in Gentle Waves which validated my closeted love of old 60s chanteuses. Bringing these two together is like the old Reese's commercials (Hey, you got chocolate in my peanut butter!). Two great, but different tastes that taste even better together.

Lanegan has the worn leather, bourbon and cigarette yet velvety butterscotch warm and fuzzy blanket quality to his voice.

Campbell does not have as many vocals on this title as on the previous CD, but she has this sweet and sexy voice you want to crawl up in and never leave.

The combined force of their voices is like a blunt explosion of emotion. While there are no standouts like Ramblin Man, this is a cd that creates a world that seems somewhat familiar but somehow foreign, and one in which I want to stay in. The photography (as in previous titles) creates a strange sense of nostalgia that is so similar to the music. In fact the complete package is what Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra were trying to do decades ago but were hampered by the limitations of the Sinatra market and the music industry in general at the time, but do find their album and you will hear the roots of Campbell/Lanegan in the original "Some Velvet Morning" (although Slowdive does a nice version).

Alt country fans of bands/musicians like Whiskeytown/Adams, Old97s/Miller, Son Volt/Farrar will like this too.

What more can I say than... what an amazing album. I loved the first one and this could very well trump it. Im not by any means an expert or music critic, but I know what I like and I love this album. If you enjoyed Ballad of the Broken Seas, you will enjoy this one as well.


5 out of 5 stars two of the greatest voices together.....   October 4, 2009
Violet (IOWA)
Honestly. great CD. Good for jamming in the car or for baking. Makes great gift for someone who your not familiar with what their musicial tastes are.
Consider Rock/folk/country/alternative/harmony in one album. Their voices make you want to fall in love...while the words move you.
great CD.



5 out of 5 stars Lanegan is my favorite artist   September 11, 2009

This is a great album. If you like Mark Lanegan, this is a must to top off your collection. I am nearly finshed with buying all of his work. I'll now have to start buying all of the work from bands that he plays in like QOTSA & Soul Savers. Isobel Campbell has a lovely voice. I want to marry her.


5 out of 5 stars Has anyone ever heard of Leonard Cohen?   December 13, 2008

If you like the sound of Leonard Cohen's voice, but already own all of his music, this album is for you. That is, as long as you don't mind someone other than Leonard Cohen sounding EXACTLY like him. That about sums this album up. Isobel's voice however is still her own and as lovely as ever. Despite the similarities this record has with a classic songwriter, I still recommend it as one of 2008's best releases. After all, if it sounds like Leonard Cohen, it can't be that bad.
