 | | Mark Lanegan first entered the public eye as the charismatic long-haired frontman of the Ellensburg, Washington psych-grunge quartet the Screaming Trees, who enjoyed modest commercial success with their 1992 album, Sweet Oblivion as beneficiaries of the post-Nirvana feeding frenzy that took place in the Pacific Northwest at that time. |
 | | His sandpapery baritone is perfect for the acoustic, confessional mode of most of his solo work, a completely distinctive, weary and resigned croon that will invariably send a sweet sad shiver through you as he ponders the mysteries of solitude, pain, and regret. |
 | | Lanegan has released four solo albums over the past decade, all on Sub Pop: 1990's The Winding Sheet, 1994's Whiskey for the Holy Ghost, and 1998's Scraps at Midnight all consist of original material, while on 1999's I'll Take Care of You, Lanegan reworks some of his favorites in his strikingly reedy, lonesome, blues-at-midnight style. |
