yeah, me too. didn't really check out his solo stuff until then. I think that's fairly common....the reason people's music shoots up the charts after they die.

I’m late to all parties Lou! Just clicked on the link you provided and saw all the ML stuff was sold out. Perhaps because the artists name was in the news, people think “oh, forgot about that guy” and check out a few songs. Realize it is some good shit and start buying records. Especially a guy like Mark, who was barely on the fringes of pop culture for a hot minute in the early 90s.
I probably answered my own question and isn’t so head scratching after all.

Why did (seemingly) everyone wait for Lanegan to die before buying his albums? It’s a real head scratcher…
I never and still, haven't bothered. I haven't heard anything that moved me.
Any suggestions?
I mean between Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age, Mad Season, Gutter Twins, his solo and Mark Lanegan Band stuff, plus all the other collaborations (Isobel Campbell, Soulsavers etc) there should be something that takes your fancy and I definitely wouldn't discount it all if you don't immediately get into Blues Funeral. Bubblegum was probably my starting point for his solo work, but it was Gutter Twins and Blues Funeral that really pulled me in to exploring his full catalogue.
First time I heard Tom waits. Wth is this! Now he lives in my veins-good or bad. Or zappa. Primus. Like going into a cold ocean. I'm jumping in, not sure if I'll rush out of hang around a bit and breathe all that cold water in. Something like that.
Also the addicted collector in me likes to chase tough to get things down. I should get help for that.

Screaming Trees had their moments. Songs for the deaf was good but obviously short lived. I wouldn't even count him as an integral part of Mad Seasons.

I just can't get into him. I'm not in that place yet...

3 added songs to the Mad Season Above reissue. All Lanegan with McCready and Martin. I think they pulled McKagen in for bass on those as John Baker Saunders died from od not long after Staley did.

Just noticed a new Weezer record coming out in March. Looked at the vinyl pre order. Shipping Feb 2023. These backlogs are killing new releases. By the time I get the records I've lost a fair bit of interest I had. Still not got Van Weezer yet.

I don't think McKagan was involved in that project, was he? I thought those three songs had been recorded with Saunders, just without vocals, and they gave the tapes to Lanegan asking if he'd sing on them for the rerelease.
Flight Risk out NOW!

looking at the release notes on discogs , you are correct. guess I conflated the sonic evolution show with the reissue.

You Could Have it So Much Better. I have always loved this album - So much fun.
I saw them in December of 2008 at the Rhythm and Vines festival in Gisborne NZ. They played four songs off this album, but interestingly played more songs off their debut with a few from the Tonight album that was released the next year.
This is all hindsight because when they played I had no idea who they were. Only became aware of them at this show and they were good. Public Enemy and Shihad were killer. I believe that was a three day festival and FF, PE and Shihad were the three headliners. After a quick internet search, that was confirmed:
They are coming to Vancouver this summer. Thinking about going, but the tix are pretty expensive... I also have their S/T release. Great album, though not quite as good as their second IMO.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

Among the 8 or 10 country artists I admire, Waylon Jennings ranks right up there beside Willie Nelson as a favorite. I somehow have managed to miss out on this record over all these years but finally tracked down a nice copy recently and it's right up there with the best of Jennings' Lps. I real gem this one!
Oh, and if you think your typical rock star lives and rocks hard and all that, check out Waylon's autobiography. Man, that guy took it to the limit but never lost the vision of his music through the haze and always remained a good soul. One of the best, for sure.
