Mark Lanegan / Karen Dalton: Same Old Man 7″
Another fine release in Light In The Attic’s 10th Anniversary colored 7″ series! For the uninitiated, this series features contemporary artists covering artists from the LITA roster on the A-side, with the original on the B-side. From Light In The Attic, “On this release, Screaming Trees man Mark Lanegan applies his tobacco-flavored tones to ‘Same Old Man’, a traditional made famous by the haunting New York singer-songwriter Karen Dalton. What Dalton achieves with the traditional instruments of America (notably her celebrated banjo) in her 1971 arrangement, Lanegan re-imagines with strings, droning Indian tones, sitars and sub-continent-sized production. Limited edition pressed on sky blue vinyl, housed in custom LITA juke-box style sleeve.
