What we say
 This record left our Brian feeling happy.
Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan are surely the contemporary devil & angel of post Lee 'n' Nancy country/torch song balladery. 'Come on Over (Turn Me On)' is a handsome piece of brooding, moody schlock, authentically done. His gruff baritone vs. her husky honey pie'd tones is immensely appealing and the whole thing comes off retaining a bit of soul & passion in an ever nostalgic plagiarism obsessed market. She is starting to look a little bit like a stoned Britt Ekland or summat though. Just imagine going from simpering church going Scots B&S to bourbon swilling, Malboro devouring darklord Lanegan. That's gonna seriously fuck up your body clock, hanging round in spit & sawdust bars, bareknuckle fighting with bears & doing tequila slammmers till dawn.

B. Sleep City
OVERVIEW:
“Come On Over (Turn Me On)” is the addictive new single from Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan, and the second to be taken from their sublime new album, “Sunday At Devil Dirt”, which was released in May to much critical acclaim…
PRESS:
“the chemistry between the two is riveting… Campbell’s songs are simple, direct, gorgeous… If, after the brilliant Ballad, you had said that this pair would reunite and make an even better album, I wouldn’t have believed you – but I think they just have”
Sunday Times – 5 Stars ***** (CD of the Week)
“It deserves the attention received by their debut, and then some”
The Observer (CD of the Week)
“A modern-day Nancy and Lee… It is no exaggeration to say that, at their best, the songs on Sunday at Devil Dirt sound like instant standards.”
The Times – 4 Stars **** (CD of the Week)
“Crackles with sexy chemistry… Lanegan turns in some career-best performances… Way rootsier than Nancy and Lee, these two really hit the spot”.
MOJO – 4 Stars ****
“A confident record… there’s a lovely tenderness to Lanegan’s singing and a playfulness about Campbell’s writing…”
Uncut – 4 Stars **** (lead review)
“this follow up collaboration capitalises on the emotional piquancy of the contrast between Lanegan's smoky barritone and Campbell's honeyed tones… highlights are many and varied…”
The Independent – 4 Stars ****
“The beauty and beast formula that worked so well on this duo’s 2006 Mercury-nominated album is beautifully fine-tuned...”
