    What album are you guys referring to? Blues Funeral? Haven't heard of anything else besides the Duke Garwood album (excellent BTW) that's recent. I wouldn't be surprised if he's already putting together another solo effort though. Blues Funeral was probably by fav album of 2012...

    I would say Blues Funeral and Black Pudding are career highlights for Lanegan.

    Black Pudding is wonderfully haunting, great album to spin after the sun goes down. I think it is also worth a mention to Alain Johannes who produced both these albums and they sound amazing. Very expertly put together and he obviously knows what Lanegan is after.

    I believe he is also putting together another album of covers and that a 2 disc compilation with b sides and unreleased material is suppossed to be surfacing this year. Its been a while since I've heard anything on those two but Lanegan isn't one to sit still. I'm expecting a Lanegan/Garwood tour.

    Cool, yes definitely worth buying IMO! If you're a fan of his earlier, more acoustic-based solo albums, you'll dig some Black Pudding.

    Yeah, I made comment about it last week.

    Blues Funeral had tons of buildup and then late last week I see a review for a new Lanegan album that has already hit the shelves. Great news but it caught me by surprise.

    "Black Pudding"? That's funny, I just purchased this last night and gave it a full listen with some great headphones and it is spectacular. Following up "Blues Funeral" with this collaboration is like a one-two punch. It seems to me that pretty much everything Mark Lanegan does I end up enjoying quite a bit.

    Agreed.

    Yes! Alain has quite a knack for making a beautiful sounding record. I thought the production quality on "Blues Funeral" was excellent and this new record is consistent with that. I like what you said about the sun going down and this being the perfect record to listen to at that time. For some reason it makes me also think of a desert landscape; the desolate west of the US. I'm tripping to southern Utah next week and I am so glad that I'll have this as a soundtrack.

    Wow, that's nice news. Lanegan is staying active, which is a great thing for his fans. I hope there is a tour... that would be unreal.

    If I was going to try and sum up Black Pudding in a few words Dave beat me to it and he only used two... :)

    Absolutely spot on! Mark Lanegan has really delivered again with Duke Garwood. Great voice, songwriter, collaborator, lyricist and spooky as hell frontman. Everything he touches is pure gold! :D

    It's a great album. Another amazing Mark Lanegan collaboration.
    Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah.
    It's growing up just like me.
