Mark Lanegan Artist Snapshot:

While rock music is the domain of adolescents (real and imagined), Mark Lanegan's deep, whiskey-rough voice has always conveyed an air of menacing adulthood and troubled sophistication. He made a name for himself as the lead singer of Seattle grunge pioneers Screaming Trees, but even before their 1997 split, was releasing critically acclaimed solo albums, beginning with 1990's THE WINDING SHEET. Lanegan has focused his solo efforts on the rootsier end of the spectrum, writing and covering R&B, blues, and folk songs. He has also sung with riff-rockers Queens of the Stone Age, and duetted memorably with Scottish chanteuse Isobel Campbell.

Review

Q (11/99, p.126) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...a down-at-heel take on a selection of songs from his favourite artistes....A simple and frequently beautiful album."
Alternative Press (1/00, pp.90-1) - 3 out of 5 - "...asserts the fact that an album of interpretations can reveal as much about an artist as a collection of original material..."
Magnet (1-2/00, pp.70-1) - "...[an] inspired and evocative collection of cover songs....paying tribute to some criminally overlooked acts..."
Mojo (Publisher) (11/99, p.114) - "...the songs that inspired him....Lanegan's performance is as impressive as his record collection. An excellent album."

Title Note

Personnel: Mark Lanegan (vocals); Mart Hoyt (acoustic & electric guitars); Mike Johnson (acoustic guitar); David Krueger (violin); Steve Berlin (flute, piano); Martin Feveyear (piano, percussion); Steve Berlin (organ); Barrett Martin (vibraphone, upright bass, drums); Ben Shepherd, Van Conner, Baker (bass); Mark Boquist, Mark Pickerel (drums).

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 it beautifully. Crucially, I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU finds Lanegan performing the work of other singers and songwriters in his own style rather than adapting himself to suit the songs. Therefore, tunes by 1960s folkies Fred Neil ("Badidah") and Tim Hardin ("Shiloh Town") sit comfortably next to efforts by 1980s blues-punks the Gun Club ("Carry Home") and the Leaving Trains ("Creeping Coastline of Lights"), as well as a handful of traditional folk and country songs.
