The Winding Sheet

Mark Lanegan

1990
Sub Pop

With an emphasis on acoustic arrangements, Mark Lanegan’s 1990 solo debut The Winding Sheet was next level right from the opening notes. Lanegan, with smokier, warmer vocals than ever, created a series of moving, emotional and dramatic songs like the title track, “Woe,” “Museum” and “Wild Flowers.” His killer backing band included Mike Johnson on guitar, Jack Endino on bass, Trees bandmate Mark Pickerel on drums and Steve Fisk on organ and piano – and, notably, Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic on Leadbelly’s “Where Did You Sleep Last Night.”
