as a reminder, the gutter twins are at the roxy on 3.21.

so thine ears have been graced with the sounds of saturnalia, and its everything i was hoping it would be. tell ya this, lanegan has to have one of the most diverse voices around and its no apparent then throughout saturnalia. one moment its that gravel pit/whiskey stained snarl, the next its dare i say actually kinda of calming in a cigarette and coffee kinda way. this is really no surprise, but something that i tend to forget, cause this gentler lanegan is all over whiskey for the holy ghost and the winding sheet.
