Description
The One Way Street set compiles the first five solo albums recorded by Mark Lanegan, the Pacific-Northwest icon also known for his work with Screaming Trees, Gutter Twins, Mad Season, Queens Of The Stone Age, Isobel Campbell and more.
The Winding Sheet, Mark Lanegans first solo work, is notable in its departure from the characteristic sound of Screaming Trees, the band he fronted from 1985 until 2000. Its follow-up, Whiskey For The Holy Ghost, released during the grunge explosion of the early 1990s, showcases Lanegans growing maturity as a songwriter and vocalist.
Scraps At Midnight could be considered the final installment of a trilogy of albums featuring Lanegans interpretation of American roots music accompanied by his troubling lyrics of loss, sin, and redemption.
Ill Take Care Of You, Lanegans fourth solo effort, consists entirely of cover songs with interpretation of songs from a wide variety of songwriters including Tim Rose, Tim Hardin, Booker T. Jones and Buck Owens.
On Lanegans fifth and final solo album for Sub Pop, Field Songs, Lanegan seems to have taken the best elements from his previous work to create one of the most fulfilled and fulfilling albums of his career; Field Songs also includes Kimikos Dream House, which Mark co-wrote with Jeffrey Lee Pierce of The Gun Club.
Three of these five albums have been out of print on vinyl for many years; Ill Take Care Of You was only released on vinyl in Europe and Field Songs was only issued on CD.
Each album in the One Way Street box set is pressed on 180gram vinyl and is housed in a sleeve reproducing the original releases artwork.
