My adoration for Mark Lanegan has roots firmly planted in an approximately 10 year child version of myself stealing/borrowing The Screaming Trees' "Sweet Oblivion" from my brother and playing the fuck out of the album and soaking it into my earholes like it was the last time I was ever going to hear it.
Many years passed, I grew into a snot-nosed adolescent, got into bad metal...then bad punk...and I didn't really give that stupendous album a second thought. Though, midway through my highschool career, Czar Nicholas over at Little Things tossed "Methamphetamine Blues" by the Tree man himself, Mark Lanegan, onto one of the first (of many) mixes he made for me.
Rekindling my love for such a stupendous voice, I've been hooked on practically all things Lanegan since.
Here's a comp I tossed together of some of my favorite stuff. Trees, solo, collaborations...
Grab a full pack o' smokes, a cheap bottle of whiskey, light one, knock back a few slugs, and listen.
By the end, you may have an itch on the roof of your mouth that needs to be scratched with a bullet.
Down The Lane(gan)
Also...I collected a bunch of minor collaborations, b-sides, and one offs from various comps.
You may need to sort the shit out for yourself (order-wise), but it's a decent amount. You're welcome.
Odds and Ends.
