Reviews"...This is grunge's soft underbelly, the land where trance meets folk and boys are sensitive, strong and extremely well-connected...Lanegan isn't afraid to go fast, but follows his rants with dusky ballads...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...Lanegan had found his niche....scratching a deep-seated existential itch, mustering tragi-comic bleakness normally the sole province of Johnny Cash.", "...Brilliant...a monument to morbid, magnificent self-absorption...a dense but intensely moving piece of work...", 7 - Very Good - "...Inhabiting an instrumental landscape more sparsely populated than Greenland, sparked by low-riding acoustic guitars, glowering organ and a blackboard-scraping violin, WHISKEY is nothing less than a vocal tour de force...", "'Kingdoms Of Rain' and 'Riding The Nightingale' are laced with the sort of Catholic guilt and survivor's wisdom that point to Lanegan's Yoda-like future status as the last of his track-scarred peer group to live to tell the tale.", "...this isn't a `Seattle' album, at least in the obvious sense. What we find on WHISKEY FOR THE HOLY GHOST is the dreamscape version of that world...Lanegan is perfect in the role of tortured obsessive, locked in a world of uncomfortable urges..."
Additional InformationArguably Lanegan’s best solo album, THE HOLY GHOST predicted that the Pacific Northwestern performer would be just fine on his own.
