Soulsavers, Mark Lanegan, Gutter Twins


If you are a fan of Mark Lanegan or any of his projects (Gutter Twins, Soulsavers) there is a really nice (and free!) flac download on marklanegan dot org. It's a live, 8 song, radio performance of the Soulsavers. Mostly stuff from the new record, Broken. It is pretty damn nice stuff. Thought I would pass it along...I particularly like the song Unbalanced Pieces...

Thanks Richard. I just saw Soulsavers again recently when they came through town. Great show. Lanegan was in fine form, as usual.
Los Angeles actually Richard.

Yeah, the first Soulsavers tour was only five dates, and the most recent one was just a little bigger. Both times, they played The Troubadour here. Dulli was present.
I've been fortunate enough to see The Gutter Twins twice, and also the Dulli/Lanegan acoustic tour (which was spectacular).

I love the Twilight Singers, but I do miss the Afghan Whigs. Heady days....
Yes Richard, I have been both fortunate and entertained.

I would go as far as to say, Greg Dulli is one of the finest song writers alive in this great country today. He consistently produces well crafted, thought provoking material. And, it has soul.

I too, have been fortunate enough to see Marcy perform "My Curse" with Dulli, and it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. It is a powerful and moving song. I'd love to see him put the Whigs back together again for a tour, but I don't think it's on the cards. A couple of years ago, I ran into him at a Joseph Arthur show - it was around the time they'd recorded 2 songs for the Rhino retrospective - and asked him if they would consider reforming. He told me that even though they all remained very close, the vibe just wasn't there anymore. Too bad.

Lanegan is simply a force of nature. At the last Soulsavers show, they did a great version of "Hit The City". Thrilling stuff.
Hi Richard, I don't think "Adorata" has been released Losslessly. I haven't bought it yet for that very reason. I keep hoping...
