Sing Backwards and Weep

De: Mark Lanegan

Narrado por: Mark Lanegan

The Sunday Times best seller.

From the back of the van to the front of the bar, from the hotel room to the emergency room, Mark Lanegan takes us back to the sinister, needle-ridden streets of Seattle, to an alternative music scene that was simultaneously bursting with creativity and saturated with drugs. He tracks the tumultuous rise and fall of Screaming Trees, from a brawling, acid-rock bar band to world-famous festival favourites with an enduring legacy, and tells of his own personal struggles with addiction, culminating in homelessness, petty crime, and the tragic deaths of his closest friends.

Gritty, gripping and unflinchingly raw, Sing Backwards and Weep is about a man who learned how to drag himself from the wreckage, dust off the ashes, and keep living and creating.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Mark Lanegan - primitive, brutal, and apocalyptic. What's not to love?" (Nick Cave, author of The Sick Bag Song and The Death of Bunny Munro)

"A stoned cold classic." (Ian Rankin)

"Mark Lanegan writes like he sings, from the pained heart of a damaged soul with brutal honesty." (Bobby Gillespie)

Amazingly honest

Mark Lanegan doesn’t sugarcoat any part of his harrowing but equally exciting life story. It makes it so much better that the man himself narrates it with his distinctive growling voice.

Chilling to the bone but addictive as dope

If there's one certainty in life, it's that only the voice of Mark Lanegan may narrate this dark dopesick memoir. A+++

Another musician with a drug problem.

Confessional junkie stories get boring real quick. Lanegan’s disdain for most of The Screaming Trees music is insight.
