Lanegan made the
following comments on his new album, Imitations:
“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 favourites. 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.”
Fans can listen to a
track from the album, Mark’s take on “I’m Not The Loving Kind” which is
