My Take

For me, Mark Lanegan was always that voice first, a low, gravel-soaked baritone that sounded like it had already lived three hard lives. From fronting Screaming Trees at the dawn of grunge to Queens of the Stone Age and twelve solo records, he never stopped moving or reinventing. His duets with Isobel Campbell remain some of the most quietly devastating music I know. There is something about the small Washington town he came from that bleeds into that weathered tone. His death in 2022 closed a singular chapter, but in my head that voice is still rumbling somewhere just out of reach.

Overview

Mark William Lanegan (November 25, 1964 – February 22, 2022) was an American singer and songwriter. First becoming prominent as the lead singer for the early grunge band Screaming Trees, he was also known as a member of Queens of the Stone Age and The Gutter Twins. He released twelve solo studio albums as well as three collaboration albums with Isobel Campbell and two with Duke Garwood.
