It is a collection of cover songs, consisting of songs from Lanegan's parents' music collection and contemporary musicians, including Chelsea Wolfe, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and The Twilight Singers. Produced by Martin Feveyear, who had worked with Lanegan on his previous covers album, I'll Take Care of You (1999), the album was preceded by the single, "I'm Not the Loving Kind". BackgroundCommenting on the decision to record a covers album, Mark Lanegan said: "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. At home my folks were also listening to country music, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, George Jones and Vern Gosdin were some of our favorites. 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."[1] ReleaseImitations was announced for release on June 26, 2013 through a press release on Lanegan's official website.[1] It was subsequently released on September 17, 2013 on Vagrant Records, with whom he signed after the release of Blues Funeral (2012). The album's lead single, a cover of John Cale's "I'm Not the Loving Kind", was released on SoundCloud alongside the album's announcement.[2][3]Lanegan is due to tour to support Imitations{{'}} release. A nine-date tour of European festivals is due to begin on July 12, 2013 at BBK Live in Bilbao, Spain and conclude on July 21 at Longitude Festival in Dublin, Ireland. Tour dates for the United States are planned for later in 2013, according to Imitations{{'}} press release.[4] Critical reception{{Album ratings| MC = (71/100)[5] | rev1 = Allmusic | rev1Score = {{rating|3.5|5}}[6] | rev2 = The Guardian | rev2Score = {{rating|3|5}}[7] | rev3 = NME | rev3Score = (6/10)[8] | rev4=Pitchfork Media | rev4score=(6.6/10)[9] }} Writing for Allmusic, Thom Jurek gave the album a positive review, stating: "Imitations is a fine collection that reveals the depth of the songs through the openness and considerable skill of the singer."[6] In a mostly positive review, The Guardian's Michael Hann wrote: "Imitations works best when Lanegan, his voice as dark and smoky as one of those old-fashioned gentlemen's clubs, tackles something so unexpected it forces you to reappraise the song: "You Only Live Twice", in particular, is a triumph, the grandeur and drama of the Bond replaced by a delicate weariness."[7] In a mixed review for the NME, Jeremy Allan, wrote: "Up there with Cash's American series this is not. But 48-year-old Lanegan is a classy bastard, so he just about gets away with it."[8] Track listing{{Track listing| extra_column = Artist | title1 = Flatlands | writer1 = Chelsea Wolfe | extra1 = Chelsea Wolfe | length1 = 3:58 | title2 = She's Gone | writer2 = Vern Gosdin | extra2 = Vern Gosdin | length2 = 2:09 | title3 = Deepest Shade | writer3 = Greg Dulli | extra3 = The Twilight Singers | length3 = 4:03 | title4 = You Only Live Twice | writer4 = Leslie Bricusse, John Barry | extra4 = Nancy Sinatra | length4 = 3:06 | title5 = Pretty Colors | writer5 = Al Gorgoni, Chip Taylor | extra5 = Frank Sinatra | length5 = 2:43 | title6 = Brompton Oratory | writer6 = Nick Cave | extra6 = Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds | length6 = 4:15 | title7 = Solitaire | writer7 = Neil Sedaka, Phil Cody | extra7 = Andy Williams | length7 = 4:55 | title8 = Mack the Knife | writer8 = Kurt Weill, Bertolt Brecht (English lyric: Manheim-Willett) | extra8 = Bobby Darin | length8 = 3:08 | title9 = I'm Not the Loving Kind | writer9 = John Cale | extra9 = John Cale | length9 = 3:08 | title10 = Lonely Street | writer10 = Carl Belew, Kenny Sowder, W.
