had no idea either, thanks for pointing it out!

I actually think Lanegan's work with QOTSA is some of his least interesting/compelling output.

I definitely enjoy it and Queens in general. But even looking back and rocking out to the few live videos we have, that particular foray really put the focus on his stage presence and how it simply did not gel with that type of rock show IMO. Same could be said for the Trees live but clearly even less video of that.

His voice also gets taxed pretty quickly playing those heavy songs in front of those monster audiences. For as much as I enjoy listening I am glad he basically eschewed those particular live endeavors and settled in to the small venue, limited crew gigs.

I had tickets to see him in 2010 with Isobel Campbell and 2012 with his band, neither worked out and a will always regret that.

I saw him once with Conoalias for folks who can remember a long way back. Soulsavers tour I think. Wish it was more than once. He was a force

Yeah I remember when this one first dropped. Prob one of my favorites of his latter collaborations.

I spent a few hours this summer combing through spotify trying to identify every guest spot I could find. My comprehensive playlsit is 38 hours and 15 minutes long. fucker was prolific.

Sadly a bunch of those later collabs are just with artists who weren't very interesting, but there are still some gems

Indeed he was.

I started collecting everything I could off this list not too long before he passed.

Im about half-way through Prato's book, enjoying it thus far.

I enjoyed Prato's book though with the limited number of interviews it read more like resounding talent lost. I was actually quite happy to finish it.

Anyway, always loved these three off the American Gods soundtrack:





Obviously Pines goes way back but his voice is just fantastic here.

Sorry for the digression, but I would really like some new Brian Reitzell music.

He's made essentially one full-length record (Auto Music, 2014) and a bunch of fantastic soundtracks but nothing in several years now.

pm me and I can share my playlist if you would like

Appreciated but I don't happen to use any of the streaming services.

Pass it around!!

Now listening to Field Songs

Is this some kind of Grunge Tom Waits?

This album is right up my alley

On first listen I enjoyed the first have quite a bit more than the second half. I liked it more whenever it leaned more into Alt-Country/Tom Waits than into "acoustic grunge". Sometimes his vocal delivery is very 90s/grunge, a bit like acoustic Alice In Chains maybe? That's the parts I don't enjoy that much.
