Mark Lanegan släpper i September sitt coveralbum Imitations (lysande titel), där han bland annat gör en cover på John Cales låt I’m not the loving kind .
Detta säger Mark om skivan:
“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.”
