Blues Funeral introduced me to the expressive and distinctive baritone of Mark Lanegan. This is a bold and captivating record, dominated by that beguilingly melodic, deeply soulful, often haunting, murky, voice. The album itself is extremely diverse as it jumps from the dark blues of "The Gravedigger's Song" and "Bleeding Muddy Waters", to the electro touches of "Gray Goes Black" and the plodding drum loops of "St Louis Elegy" and from there to the catchy synth-pop "Ode to Sad Disco" and the synth-laced psychedelia of "Harborview Hospital", just before ending with "Deep Black Vanishing Train" in a melancholic Cohen-meets-Cash-in-Hurt.

I have had this album on repeat for 3 months in the Ute and I have not got sick of listening to it yet, therefore in my mind its already a classic. You will be able to pull it out of your CD stack in another 10 years time and it will still be good...just like Bubblegum is. Mark's voice just keeps maturing like wine and its very very palatable, yeah the sadness is there, but life can be like that! The techno beat stops it short of truly being depressive and the songs remain in your head long after you get to the end of the CD...a sign of a true classic album, for me anyway.
