Ballad of The Broken Seas: Vinyl LP

There's a captivating 'beauty and the beast' charm in the best male/female singer - songwriter duos. Think of Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg, or Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood. 'Ballad of the Broken Seas' is an album - length collaboration between Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan. Isobel's pure, aching voice contrasts beautifully with Lanegan's wounded, regret - filled burr. Unlike many duets that dull the participants, this one shines. Scottish singer Isobel Campbell, ex - of Belle & Sebastian, teams up with Mark Lanegan, ex - of Screaming Trees and collaborator with Queens of the Stone Age. It's a classic pairing, with Lanegan's gruff baritone protecting Isobel like a beautiful bird. This successful combination has precedents like Lee Hazelwood & Nancy Sinatra, and Serge Gainsbourg with Jane Birkin. The instrumental settings enhance the timeless allure of these twelve songs. This music spans centuries, confidently updating traditions with subtle innovation. --David Greenberger
