The Winding Street (The Album)
“The title for the record came from something I heard Maya Angelou say on a PBS television program, and inspiration for the songs was born of sadness and uncertainty with my circumstances at the time: relationships, money problems, alcohol, depression, addiction and so on. Sometimes serious, sometimes comical. Other motivations included the endless gray, rain-saturated days of Seattle and a preoccupation with death as well as an ever-pervasive sense of impending doom.”Mark Lanegan (1293)

No Easy Action
“I wrote it after reading two stories in the newspaper one morning. The first covered an exhibition of photos from Ernest Shackleton’s failed Antarctic expedition, and the second described the studio apartment of a Seattle man who caused a city bus to go off the side of the Aurora Avenue Bridge when he shot the driver and then himself.”Mark Lanegan (1295)
