Ballad of the Broken Seas
Scottish chanteuse Isobel Campbell has inked a long term world-wide recording deal with V2 records. Isobel, formally of Belle & Sebastian, has spent the initial part of this year completing works on Ballad Of The Broken Seas, the collaborative album recorded with former Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age singer, Mark Lanegan. Although much of the album was recorded with Campbell in her native Glasgow, and Lanegan in Los Angeles, the two actually came together in the studio in L.A. in May to cut a number of new tracks for the release, including a new Lanegan penned song, 'Revolver' and a version of the traditional blues tune, 'St James Infirmary'. 2006.
