Ballad of the Broken Seas

Released

In one of the most inspired musical partnerships of the early 21st century, Isobel Campbell first recruited Mark Lanegan to appear on her 2004 EP Time Is Just The Same, leading to a full album two years later with Ballad of the Broken Seas, which became a major critical hit. Working from music and some initial lyrics by Campbell, the two, along with a solid group of backing players, created a series of smoky, involving songs, nodding to plenty of roots (as with a great cover of Hank Williams’ “Ramblin’ Man”) but finding their own elegant late night vibe.
