I'll Take Care of You is the fourth solo album by former Screaming Trees vocalist Mark Lanegan. This album consists of cover songs.
Recording
[edit]The album features Lanegan's interpretation of songs from a wide variety of songwriters, including Tim Rose, Tim Hardin, Booker T. Jones, and Buck Owens. I'll Take Care Of You also includes the traditional song "Little Sadie." A review from NME said: "it's probably his finest, most tenderly-delivered work to date."[4] Pitchfork Media's Neil Lieberman said this about the album: "In this collection, Lanegan's managed to tug on the timeless threads that hold the patchwork of American music together. And that's certainly something to consider."[5] The album opener "Carry Home" was composed by Jeffrey Lee Pierce, with whom Lanegan would write "Kimiko's Dream House," which would appear on his next album Field Songs.
Reception
[edit]Steve Huey of AllMusic: "It's a testament to Lanegan's interpretive skill that he's able to use his already well-established style so effectively yet again, as most of these versions range from stunning to merely excellent."
