LANEGAN, MARK - STRAIGHT SONGS OF SORROW (2LP)

 

Back in stock! Mark Lanegan has been rather prolific over the last few years. Straight Songs of Sorrow is an album based on his life, a soundtrack to his autobiography Sing Backwards and Weep. The songs take us through a story of rock ' roll life, or grunge ' roll. It documents his battle with hard drugs, the Seattle grunge scene he was at the centre of and his general ups and downs, all told with some humour and hope..
