Mark William Lanegan (November 25, 1964 –- February 22, 2022) was an American singer, songwriter, and poet. First becoming prominent as the lead singer for the early grunge band Screaming Trees, he was also known as a member of Queens of the Stone Age and The Gutter Twins. He released 12 solo studio albums, as well as three collaboration albums with Isobel Campbell and two with Duke Garwood. He was known for his baritone voice, which was described as being "as scratchy as a three-day beard yet as supple and pliable as moccasin leather" and has been compared to Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, and Nick Cave.

Lanegan began his musical career in 1984 with Screaming Trees, with whom he released seven studio albums and five EPs before their disbandment in 2000. During his time with the band, he also started a solo career and released his first solo studio album, The Winding Sheet, in 1990. He subsequently released a further 10 solo albums, which received critical recognition but only moderate commercial success. Following the end of Screaming Trees, he became a frequent collaborator of Queens of the Stone Age, and was a full-time member between 2001 and 2005 during the Songs for the Deaf and Lullabies to Paralyze eras.

Lanegan collaborated with various artists throughout his career. In the 1990s, he and Kurt Cobain recorded an album of Lead Belly covers that was ultimately never released. He also joined Layne Staley and Mike McCready in the band Mad Season, and formed the alternative rock group The Gutter Twins with Greg Dulli in 2003, as well as contributing to releases by Moby, Bomb the Bass, Soulsavers, Tinariwen, The Twilight Singers, Manic Street Preachers, and Unkle, among others.

Lanegan struggled with addiction to drugs and alcohol throughout his life but had been sober for over a decade at the time of his death. Encouraged by his friend Anthony Bourdain, he released the memoir Sing Backwards and Weep in 2020. He followed this up in 2021 with the memoir Devil in a Coma, which focused on his near-death experience with COVID-19. He and his wife Shelley Brien left the U.S. in 2020 and settled in the Irish town of Killarney, where he died two years later at the age of 57. No cause of death was revealed. He was praised for his honesty, authenticity, and creativity by his fans and peers, and he was praised for his poetic and introspective lyrics that explored themes of love, loss, and the human condition.

Mark Lanegan was widely regarded as a talented and influential musician, with a distinctive and expressive voice. He was praised for his versatility and ability to collaborate with various artists across different genres. Some of the things that have been said about his musicianship are:

"He led a wild life that some of us could only dream of. He leaves us with fantastic words and music!" - Peter Hook, former Joy Division and New Order bassist

"Mark Lanegan will always be etched in my heart — as he surely touched so many with his genuine self, no matter the cost, true to the end." - John Cale, former Velvet Underground member

"His enigmatic allure and voodoo vocals made him something of a post-grunge Zelig, if Zelig had defined every situation he cropped up in." - NME

“He was a true singer, a superb writer and beautiful soul, loved by all.” - Nick Cave, Australian musician and author.

“One of THE great singers of the last 30 years.” - Badly Drawn Boy, British singer-songwriter.

“A worn, soulful burr betraying heavy emotional and physical mileage, but possessed of considerable dignity, vulnerability and heroism.” - Stevie Chick, music journalist.

“The voice that soothed us all.” - J Mascis, American musician and leader of Dinosaur Jr.

Presented here are 4 x CDs of the often-underrated talent of Mark Lanegan. For CD's 1+2+3 of this compilation set I have collated many of the gloomy crooner's collaborations. Specifically, I have included tracks where he was the lead vocalist solo or as a duet. I have not included collaborations where he was a backing singer (and there are many) or was present as a musical collaborator. I have also tried to avoid tracks from his solo albums but have accepted to include the Mark Lanegan Band on a few tracks. 

The bonus disc CD4 includes cover versions of tracks done solo or with others including one duet. 

All tracks are listed chronologically and shows why Mark Lanegan was such a revered collaborator.  Enjoy.
