I won't claim to big the biggest expert on Mark Lanegan's extensive body of work. I've got a Screaming Trees collection I haven't devoted the right amount of attention to, but I was taken with his solo work whenever I heard it and was especially fond of his collaborations with Isobel Campbell, updating the Lee & Nancy aesthetic for a 21st Century audience.
Still, at only 57, he's another one gone far too soon...
Very sad news indeed. I spent much of late yesterday evening playing his music. For someone so prolific, his quality threshold was off the scale.
ReplyDeleteYes, sad news. I have several albums with his name on them.
ReplyDeleteShocked to read this too, I have been wondering about his autobiography and ended up reading a number of articles on him last night after hearing the news. Far too young. Mr SDS did at least manage to see Screaming Trees in 1996 and was well impressed.
