Mark Lanegan: Death Valley Blues
Keith Cameron, MOJO, October 2004
MARK LANEGAN HAS JUST PUT THE unfiltered Camel to his lips when there's a knock at the door. It's his UK record company's PR. "I got them!" she says. Lanegan gratefully takes the package, pushes out two tablets from their foil wrap and into his mouth. "Pepcid," he nods. "Best antacids in the world."
