Mark Lanegan is to release new covers album later this year which will showcase many Sixties and Seventies classics which he grew up with.

Imitations‘ is out on September 16th, and includes Lanegan’s take on ‘I’m Not The Loving Kind‘, which can be heard below.

“When I was a kid in the late sixties and early seventies, my parents and their friends would play the records of Andy Williams, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Perry Como, music with string arrangements and men singing songs that sounded sad whether they were or not.” Lanegan explains.

“At home my folks were also listening to country music – Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, George Jones and Vern Gosdin were some of our favourites. For a long time I’ve wanted to make a record that gave me the same feeling those old records did, using some of the same tunes I loved as a kid and some that I’ve loved as I have gotten older. This record is it. Imitations.”
