Ok, that may be a little strong, Sam Beam is a fine songwriter and this is a fine album, albeit one with a radio friendly sheen. The thing is, I remember the early 70&#8242;s quite well, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chimeramusica.wordpress.com&#38;blog=5075818&#38;post=1661&#38;subd=chimeramusica&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Seriously, though the epic prog folk of &#8216;The Crane Wife&#8217; and &#8216;Castaways and Cutouts&#8217; has been abandoned in favour of a beautifully produced collection of songs, the Decemberists draw on the well of melancholia to good effect.

This is the nearest we&#8217;ll get, KORT being Kurt Wagner and Cortney Tidwell and Invariable Heartache being a proper country record of exclusively autumnal hues.

The pounding drums and voodoo imagery fired live performances that were shamanistic in their intensity.

The third album from Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan is occasionally quite sublime; Blues and Murder Balladry of the highest order from an enduring partnership which suggests that Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood&#8217;s Jackson was more than just a wicked tease.
