I really enjoyed his work with Isobel Campbell. Ballad of the Broken Seas was an absolute classic album for me. Wonderful voice, reminiscent of Tom Waits. RIP.

Yeah, love their records together. This weekend will be a listen through of all of them, while raising a glass. RIP.

I love his description of Liam Gallagher. It's poetic. He was a good writer.

"I could see him as a kid in short pants on a bright sunny day, gleefully jacking his minuscule dick while frying ants under a magnifying glass"

A better description of the Mancunian troglodyte you couldn't hope to find

Nice obituary by Stevie Chick in the Graun:

Mark Lanegan defied darkness to become one of his generation’s most soulful singers

Once primed to self-destruct, Lanegan found salvation and creative freedom in collaborations that brought out the nuances of his uniquely dignified voice

Think I'm gonna have to buy that book.

Edit - Doubled in price, I'll wait a while.

If you're near a HMV - I picked mine up in there last year in a 2 for £6 deal

Gonna chill and listen to some ML.

I’m not that familiar with stuff outside of QOTSA, or with Isobel Campbell.

Any recommendations of his solo stuff ?

There are many angles to go from, I remember him from Screaming Trees and Mad Season, he was a great friend of Layne. He outlived Layne by 20 years but I always wished they had done more Mad Season.
