Night Flight To Kabul

Happy 55 To Original Voice And Compelling Songwriter MARK LANEGAN…

MARK LANEGAN was born in Ellensburg, Washington, 25 November 1964. Happy 55 to an original voice and a most compelling songwriter. His musical career began as vocalist with grunge rockers Screaming Trees in 1985. When the band called it a day Lanegan followed his own successful path with countless collaborations with various other artists and with his, by now impressive canon of 11 solo records. His latest longplayer, one of his best to my ears, ‘Somebody’s Knocking‘ appeared last month.

To celebrate this authentic rock troubadour’s
birthday I picked these three big moments…

– HALO OF ASHES –
(Live Screamming Trees performance on British TV show 1996)


– WEDDING DRESS –
(Live version / from his 2004 ‘Bubblegum’ LP)

– NIGHT FLIGHT TO KABUL –
(From his new 2019 LP ‘Somebody’s Knocking‘)

MARK LANEGAN announced a new LP with his band, titled SOMEBODY’S KNOCKING, already some time ago. It will be out next October. We already got three tracks, rollin’ cracker ‘Stitch It Up’, compelling synth driven ballad ‘Playing Nero’ and rocker ‘Letter Never Sent’.

And here’s track number four. ‘NIGHT FLIGHT TO KABUL’ is another uptempo cut
with a catching chorus that will spoil your ears instantly. Hear it here…
