Ballad Of The Broken Seas

Description

Reissue of the iconic album released in 2006, "Ballad Of The Broken Seas" has remained a reference for fans of folk and Americana, revered for its enchanting melodies, rich storytelling, and the captivating interplay between Campbell's ethereal voice and Lanegan's gravelly baritone timbre. The album is the first of a famous trilogy of albums that Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan recorded together, followed by "Sunday at Devil Dirt" in 2008 and "Hawk" in 2010. The album was widely acclaimed, with the duo being considered a modern-day Nancy & Lee, and was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize. From the introductory "Deus Ibi Est" to the melancholic "The False Husband" and the poignant title track, "Ballad Of The Broken Seas" resonates as powerfully today as it did upon its initial release.
