Lanegan began his career as the leader of the psychedelic grunge band Screaming Trees in 1984, with whom he released seven studio albums and five EPs before the band disbanded in 2000. During his tenure with the band, he began a solo career and released The Winding Sheet, his first solo studio album, in 1990.
