Field Songs

2001’s Field Songs was a new step forward all around for Mark Lanegan, with his voice showing an even greater range than ever and the music incorporating more styles and approaches from all around the world; he later considered it one of his overall best. Field Songs has another killer set of collaborators, with Mike Johnson and Ben Shepherd as the main guitarists, but on dramatic songs like “Field Song” and “No Easy Action” as well as sweetly-sung ballads as “Pill Hill Serenade” and “Kimiko’s Dream House,” it’s all about Lanegan’s wondrous performances.
