Scraps At Midnight

back in stock - 'scraps at midnight', lanegan's third solo effort (one arrives every four years or so), follows a similar path as his first two albums — it's a haunted, low-key affair steeped in blues, folk and country. the rustic setting allows lanegan to spin some captivating tales, all delivered in his powerful, throaty growl. although it's similar to its predecessor, 'scraps at midnight' is arguably his most accomplished — it might just miss matching the excellence of 'whiskey for the holy ghos't, but with songs as uniformly strong and performances as passionate as these, it comes damn close.
