Their beloved second album "Blackberry Belle" followed in 2003, followed by a covers album "She Loves You" in 2004. 2006's "Powder Burns" made many critics "Best Of" year end lists. In 2008 he teamed up with long time friend Mark Lanegan to form The Gutter Twins who released the critically acclaimed album "Saturnalia" the same year.
