ISOBEL CAMPBELL AND MARK LANEGAN

Ballad of the Broken Seas (V2)

Watch out Nick and Kylie (and Jim and Hope) — here comes a new couple attempting to copy Lee and Nancy. Mark Lanegan sounds a little like Leonard Cohen, while producer Isobel Campbell sounds generic. That special "Velvet Morning" magic may be absent, but there are some pretty tunes, even if "Black Mountain" starts out as a dead ringer for "Sounds of Silence." The prettiest: "(Do You Wanna) Come Walk With Me." (Johnny Ray Huston)

Isobel Campbell, Wed/8, 9:30 p.m., Café du Nord, 2170 Market, SF. $12. (415) 861-5016.
