Pacific Northwest icon Mark Lanegan is well known for his work with Screaming Trees, Gutter Twins, Mad Season, Queens of the Stone Age, Isobel Campbell, and more. As a solo artist, he's also built a devoted following, slowly releasing records that highlight his love for singer/songwriters, and American folk and blues. Constructed with producer/instrumentalist Mike Johnson, 1994's Whiskey for the Holy Ghost is Langegan's second solo effort and finds his distinct bourbon baritone and dark tales of the human experience bathed in compelling country blues arrangements making undated standouts like "Borracho," "House a Home" and "Pendulum" some of the most unique exponents of the grunge explosion of the early-90s.
