When considering any great work of art be it a painting a novel or a piece of music it s natural to wonder what might have inspired it. Mark Lanegan s 2020 album Straight Songs Of Sorrow features guest appearances from Greg Dulli Warren Ellis John Paul Jones Ed Harcourt and more These 15 songs are inspired his life story as documented in his new memoir Sing Backwards And Weep. The book is a brutal nerve-shredding read thanks to Lanegan s unsparing candor in recounting a journey from troubled youth in eastern Washington through his drug-stained existence amid the 90s Seattle rock scene to an unlikely salvation at the dawn of the 21st century. There s death and tragedy yet also humor and hope thanks to the tenacity which impels it s host even at his lowest moments. Today Lanegan is a renowned songwriter and a much-coveted collaborator as adept at electronica as with rock constantly honing his indomitable voice: an asphalt-laced linctus for the soul. While the memoir documents a struggle to find peace with himself his album emphasizes the extent to which he came to realize that music is his life.
