Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arriving amidst personal turmoil and the dissolution of Screaming Trees, 'Field Songs' strips Lanegan's sound down to an intimate, acoustic-driven blend of desert rock and Appalachian folk. His signature whiskey-soaked baritone carries the weight of a hardened troubadour, navigating themes of addiction, regret, and fleeting salvation. The instrumentation is sparse yet deeply evocative, relying heavily on acoustic guitars and Eastern-tinged melodies.
