That voice. Starless and Bible-black, Pure soul dredged from deep, deep down at the molten core of it all. Once heard, never shaken: a sound that signifies a life lived fully

His voice was one of a kind…it reached into your soul and pulled your heart out.

the tumultuous rise and fall of the Screaming Trees, from a brawling, acid-rock bar band to world-famous festival favorites that scored a hit number five single on Billboard’s alternative charts and landed a notorious performance on Late Night with David Letterman, where Lanegan appeared sporting a fresh black eye from a brawl the night before.
