Description
With a voice that Pitchfork has called "as scratchy as a three-day beard yet as supple and pliable as moccasin leather," former Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age vocalist Mark Lanegan draws frequent comparisons to wounded masters of doom like Tom Waits, Nick Cave, and Leonard Cohen.
But Lanegan's talents aren't limited to his vocal skills. His lyrics are on par with the best of them, exploring with Blakeian insight the stark and scorched emotional terrain that exists somewhere beyond sadness, addiction, trauma, and spiritual longing.
Now, for the first time ever, the reclusive singer presents a comprehensive look at his lyrics, the stories behind them, and the making of his albums, as well as photos, insights, and ephemera from a long career in rock 'n' roll. I Am the Wolf gives fans a rare and candid glimpse into the inner workings of a living-and singular-rock legend.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Highly praised by fellow musicians and authors, I Am the Wolf is celebrated for its insightful and candid prose. Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses calls it a clever and humorous glimpse into Lanegan's lyrical mind, placing it among his favourite literary works. Peter Hook of Joy Division and New Order describes it as a fascinating journey through the art of a great wordsmith. Greg Dulli and Dave Gahan commend Lanegan's artistic vision and powerful impact, while Henry Rollins highlights the profound weight of his words.
