Description:
Ξ♠Ξ   The One Way Street box set compiles the first five solo albums recorded by Mark Lanegan, the Pacific Northwest icon who is also known for his work with Screaming Trees, Gutter Twins, Mad Season, Queens of the Stone Age, Isobel Campbell, and more.
Ξ♠Ξ   As a solo artist, Lanegan built a devoted following, slowly releasing records that highlighted his love for singer/songwriters, and American folk and blues. His love for the rich history of American contemporary music was showcased throughout these five remarkable efforts: The Winding Sheet (1990), Whiskey for the Holy Ghost (1994), Scraps at Midnight (1998), I’ll Take Care of You (1999) and Field Songs (2001). And let’s not forget that voice! Trying to describe the power of Mark’s voice is not an easy task, but to paraphrase Fred Neil, he sure can sing the shit out of a song.
Ξ♠Ξ   Lanegan also collaborated regularly with Mike Johnson (Dinosaur Jr.), a multi–instrumentalist known for his understated, incredible guitar work, who co–wrote, arranged and co–produced some of the early records and various songs from the discography.
Ξ♠Ξ   One Way Street will feature all five albums released on Sub Pop Records, housed in a faux–leather box set. And all five titles have been long out–of–print or have never been released on vinyl:  The Winding Sheet, Whiskey for the Holy Ghost, and Scraps at Midnight have been out of print on vinyl for many years; I’ll Take Care of You was only released on vinyl in Europe, and Field Songs was only issued on CD. Each album in the One Way Street box set were cut from new lacquers and pressed on 180–gram vinyl, and is housed in a sleeve reproducing the art for its original release.
The Winding Sheet (SP61 / May 1, 1990):
Ξ♠Ξ   The Winding Sheet is Lanegan’s first solo work and showcases his adept skills as a lyricist and his deep, soulful voice. Highlights include “Mockingbirds,” “Ugly Sunday” and the haunting “Wild Flowers.” The late Kurt Cobain lends vocals to  “Down in the Dark,” and for the folk classic “Where Did You Sleep Last Night” Cobain contributes guitar and vocals and Krist Novoselic plays bass. Nirvana would later also cover “Where Did You Sleep Last Night” on their Unplugged album. The album was produced by Jack Endino, Lanegan, and Johnson.

Ξ♠Ξ   Whiskey for the Holy Ghost is the second solo album from Lanegan, and builds upon the roots music foundation that he had established with his debut The Winding Sheet. Released during the grunge explosion of the early 1990s, Whiskey for the Holy Ghost showcases Lanegan’s growing maturity as a songwriter and vocalist. Lyrically, Lanegan continues to delve into the darker side of the human experience on songs like “Borracho” and the biblical “Pendulum.” “House a Home” was released as a single with an accompanying video. Dan Peters of Mudhoney guests on the album, playing drums on the songs “Borracho” and “House a Home.”

Ξ♠Ξ   Chris Strother — Photography                        © Ben Shepherd recording on Mark Lanegan´s Field Songs
Ξ♠Ξ   Field Songs is his fifth solo and final studio album for Sub Pop. Lanegan seems to have gone back through all his previous work, and taken the best elements from each to create one of the most fulfilled, and fulfilling, albums of his career; a demonstration of his continued love of singer/songwriters and American folk and blues. Field Songs also includes the song “Kimiko’s Dream House,” which Mark co–wrote with Jeffrey Lee Pierce of Gun Club fame.AllMusic Review by Mark Deming;  Score: ****
Ξ♠Ξ   Mark Lanegan first gained the attention of discerning rock fans as the lead singer of the Screaming Trees, one of the finest bands on the Pacific Northwest scene, but in 1990 he began expanding his creative horizons with his first solo album. The Winding Sheet was a set of dark, dusty acoustic–based tunes with their roots in the blues, wed to deeply introspective lyrics that reflected Lanegan’s battles with his various demons. It was a powerful solo debut that earned respectful reviews, and was the first in a series of works that established Lanegan as one of the most powerful songwriters and vocalists to come out of the alternative rock scene. One Way Street: The Sub Pop Albums is a special five–LP box set that presents Lanegan’s first 5 solo albums — 1990’s The Winding Sheet, 1994’s Whiskey for the Holy Ghost, 1998’s Scraps at Midnight, 1999’s I’ll Take Care of You, and 2001’s Field Songs — in fresh 180–gram pressings from new lacquer masters. The set marks the first time I’ll Take Care of You has been available on vinyl in the United States, as well as the worldwide vinyl debut of Field Songs. Lanegan’s creative journey has been one of the most distinct and rewarding of any musician of his generation, and One Way Street collects the formative works that formed his unique musical perspective.
