Has God Seen My Shadow: An Anthology 1989-2011
Making his debut as the lead singer with the Screaming Trees in 1985, Mark Lanegan has gone on to establish himself as one of the most powerful and distinctive voices in American music. Lanegans deep, nicotine-burnished voice is an ideal complement for the often dark themes of his lyrics, which are thoughtful and literate without being pretentious, and hes collaborated with a stellar roster of musicians, including Kurt Cobain, Greg Dulli, Josh Homme, Isobel Campbell, and Moby. Since making his solo debut with 1990s The Winding Sheet, Lanegan has created a striking body of work that embraces blues, country, folk, rock, and many spaces in between. Has God Seen My Shadow? An Anthology 1989-2011 is a collection that brings together 20 outstanding performances from Lanegans albums for Sub Pop and Beggars Banquet, and also features 12 previously unreleased tracks from Lanegans archives. The physical editions of this set also include a booklet with reproductions of Lanegans original handwritten lyrics(Review by Mark Deming ).
