Shortly before the early-1990s grunge boom hit, Screaming Trees vocalist Mark Lanegan was already blazing his own path with his solo debut, THE WINDING SHEET. Marking a considerable departure from the Trees' feedback-drenched neo-psychedelia, this spare collection of acoustic-leaning songs allows Lanegan to wander into darker, more unsettling territory, as revealed on the thrillingly bleak "Mockingbirds" and the haunting title track. Not only do these subdued songs, co-written with guitarist Mike Johnson, allow Lanegan's deep, husky voice to hang in the air longer, they share a shadowy, nearly macabre sensibility with other revered artists such as Nick Cave and Tom Waits, giving the singer added appeal and mystique beyond the standard rock-frontman persona.
THE WINDING SHEET is also notable for featuring the backing vocals of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain on the sinister "Down in the Dark" and a cover of Leadbelly's desperate "Where Did You Sleep Last Night," the latter a track that Nirvana would perform on its UNPLUGGED IN NEW YORK album. An underrated classic of the Pacific Northwest scene, this record established Lanegan as an intriguing and unpredictable artist in his own right, a reputation that he would make the most of in subsequent years.

Mark Lanegan Winding Sheet Songs Winding Sheet Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Quote from Dave Grohl-"Rolling Stone 7-14-05"
Kurt looked up to Lanegan, and his first solo record, The Winding Sheet, is one of the best albums of all time. That was the soundtrack to my first six months in Olympia [Washington]. I listened to it every day -- when the sun wouldn't come up, when it went down too early and when it was cold and raining. I was lonely. I'd listen to that record for reasons. It was a huge influence on our Unplugged thing."

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No In a Rolling Stone article from Jul 14, 2005, Dave Grohl had
We'd seen the other Unpluggeds and didn't like many of them, because most bands would treat them like rock shows -- play their hits like it was Madison Square Garden, except with acoustic guitars. We wanted to do something different. Like, let's call the Meat Puppets, and let's see if we can learn this Bowie cover. Like the Lead Belly song ["Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" -- also recorded by Mark Lanegan]. Kurt looked up to Lanegan, and his first solo record, The Winding Sheet, is one of the best albums of all time. That was the soundtrack to my first six months in Olympia [Washington].

Purchase Winding Sheet CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Mark Lanegan Whiskey For The Holy Ghost CD (1994)
Winding Sheet album
 $9.75   
On his second solo outing, 1994's WHISKEY FOR THE HOLY GHOST, Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan unveils a set of tunes that is more dynamic and cohesive than his spare, brooding debut, THE WINDING SHEET. Once again collaborating with multi-instrumentalist Mike Johnson, among others, Lanegan uses his deep, gravelly voice to maximum effect on these wonderful songs of woe, which include the hypnotic, David Lynchian "The River Rise" and the dark, pastoral "Kingdoms of Rain." Arguably Lanegan's best solo album, THE HOLY GHOST predicted that the perpetually melancholy Pacific Northwestern performer would be just fine on his own when Screaming Trees eventually split.
Recorded at Ironwood, Reciprocal, and Steve Lawson Studios, Seattle, Washington; Messina Music, New York, New York.

| | Mark Lanegan Scraps At Midnight CD (1998)
Winding Sheet CD music
$9.89 
The third solo album from Screaming Trees singer Lanegan can be seen as the final component of a thematic trilogy. Lanegan's quiet, reflective solo work has always been at odds with the music of the Trees (and dare we say, more interesting). SCRAPS AT MIDNIGHT is no exception; continuing the thread begun on 1990's THE WINDING ...

Winding Sheet music CDs
$11.65 
For his fourth solo album following the breakup of the much beloved Screaming Trees, Mark Lanegan delves into the always fraught waters of the all-covers album. Often a stylistic mish-mash of the artist's favorite songs done so much in their original styles that the singer's true personality is lost, the covers album is dangerous territory, but Lanegan navigates ...
| | Mark Lanegan Field Songs CD (2001)
Winding Sheet songs
$12.79
As leader of the Screaming Trees, Mark Lanegan helped introduce the mainstream to the Seattle sound known somewhat dubiously as grunge. His rough vocal stylings fit perfectly with his band's swirling hard rock attack. As a solo artist, however, Lanegan took a much different approach, playing the part of the modern-day blues wanderer. FIELD SONGS, released in 2001, is an intense collection of blues and folk-flecked guitar numbers augmented by touches of atmospheric noise and occasionally more elaborate production and arrangements. Lanegan's tales of desperation, loneliness, and loss feel both intimate and vast, and show the singer-songwriter to be much more than what the 1990s hype machine might lead one to believe.
Mark Lanegan is best known for his years as the vocalist for the Screaming Trees. On this release he has enlisted the help of longtime collaborator Mike Johnson (Dinosaur Jr.) and Ben Shepherd (Soundgarden). Without question, this is one of the most fulfilled ...
| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Winding Sheet album
$6.39 
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi ...

In between the release of FIELD SONGS and its follow-up, BUBBLEGUM, former Screaming Trees singer Mark Lanegan sang for hard-rock heroes both old (a reunited MC5) and new (Queens of the Stone Age), gaining both fans and famous friends in the process. Thus, all eyes were on Lanegan for BUBBLEGUM, which features guest shots by everyone from PJ Harvey and Queens leader Josh Homme to Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses. Fortunately, all this ...

While building one of jazz's most impressive all-star résumés as a session cat supreme, electric guitar master Joe Beck -- who has kept company with Miles Davis, Gil Evans, Duke Ellington, Buddy Rich, Paul Desmond, Maynard Ferguson and David Sanborn, among others -- has also amassed a solid discography of solo discs including notable efforts in the '80s and '90s on DMP. His third disc on Whaling City Sound features mostly covers (all but two are recognizable jazz and Great American Songbook) standards, but his sense of invention on these all but makes him a co-composer. The creative centerpiece is the colorful, multi-movement ten-minute opus of "Alone Together," which features his daring, often bristling improvisation ...
