DeBaser's reviews underline Lanegan's deep, hoarse baritone and his consistently melancholic folk-blues aesthetic. Many reviews praise his interpretive power on cover albums and his lyrical candour in autobiography. Recurring themes are addiction, loss and redemption, with standout solo records spanning from The Winding Sheet to Straight Songs Of Sorrow.
