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.
