| Stereogum Mark Lanegan Covers Afghan Whigs Lanegan does a properly slow, soulful, kind of blue take of one of his
Gutter Twin's classic Congregation songs "Tonight." His go at
the 1992 come-on's from the forthcoming Summer's Kiss: A Tribute To The
Afghan Whigs, which includes a baker's dozen of Whigs takes via Joseph
Arthur, My Jerusalem, Zykos, etc. The idea for it started in the summer
of 2006 when the Afghan Whigs fan site Summerkiss put out an open call
for covers of Whigs songs and folks responded. You can hear snippets of
the selected 13 (of nearly 100 submitted) at the Summerkiss label's website,
but first you can hear Lanegan in his smokey entirety here. (By the by,
does Sam Holden's photo for the tribute's cover look at all familiar,
gentlemen?)
