Version City #11 - Mark Lanegan sings Gene Clark
A tweet from the venerable Sid Griffin,
reminds me that May 24th 2013 was not only
the 72nd birthday of Bob Dylan, but also the
22nd anniversary of Gene Clark's death.
In his tweet, Sid also mentions 'Some
Misunderstanding', a sublime song from
Gene's masterpiece, 1974's 'No Other', which
in turn got me thinking about a terrific
interpretation of that song by Soulsavers, fronted by Mark Lanegan. Soulsavers have released four long-players
to date, two of which feature Lanegan
extensively - 2007's 'It's Not How Far You
Fall, It's the Way You Land' and 2009's
'Broken', from where this version is taken.
