2015. Pop / Singer-songwriter; Mark Lanegan first rose to fame with his band the Screaming Trees in the '90s. Like other noted artists Lanegan has carved out a strong identity of his own as a vocalist and songwriter formed by the blues, but willing to take his darkly poetic sensibility wherever his muse was pointing him, from hard rock to electronica. At the time, the Screaming Trees had recently disbanded and Lanegan was in the early years of his solo offerings. The songs on "Houston (Publishing Demos 2002)", were written, recorded, then shelved until now, with the release of this 12-song collection.
