Radio Broadcast 7: Artist Profile: Mark Lanegan.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to another broadcast from Sound Guardian Radio. Today will be the first in a series of artist profiles which I'll start throwing in amongst other radio pieces. To start us off, I thought I'd profile the work of a favorite vocalist of mine: Mark Lanegan. Lanegan started off his career as the vocalist for Seattle Grunge band Screaming Trees, but since that band broke up in the early 2000's, Lanegan has been rather prolific, working with everyone from Queens Of The Stone Age to Greg Dulli (with whom he formed the band The Gutter Twins.) He's got quite the baritone and after you hear him sing once you'll usually be able to recognize his work. With this broadcast I'm going to play you a selection of four songs from Lanegan's post-Screaming Trees work, including songs from his collaborations with Queens Of The Stone Age, Isobel Campbell and Soulsavers, as well as a song from his solo work. Here's hoping you enjoy!

1. "Song For The Dead" by Queens Of The Stone Age

2. "Methamphetamine Blues" by Mark Lanegan Band

3. "Come On Over (Turn Me On)" by Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan

4. "Ghosts Of You And Me" by Soulsavers
