Hi,
I'm just so pleased to recognize a band who I like mentioned here!! I've found some; not many, i.e. Kasabian.
I don't have Sweet Oblivion, but have Nearly Lost You (EP or CD; not sure which it's considered) which has title track + All I Know...somehow, I'd actually remembered those songs when I heard them again in early 00's or 10's.
Agree w/you re: M. Lanegan/L. Staley vocal-style, although Staley could really reach some high notes! Very fine representation of Screaming Trees, who should've reached much greater audiences, but for being put in grunge category, coming up at that time, but having harder rock sounds w/psychedelic leanings.
I think I've read that Screaming Trees also didn't get much MTV rotation b/c it was felt the guitarists were a bit too scary-looking(?) Don't really "get" that, since many of the grunge &/or metal music vids. were kinda scary/disturbing/depressing.
Who else do you listen to? Since you're finding Americana in Screaming Trees, do ya by any chance like Social Distortion (asking 'bout them, since they-very originally, IMO-combine punk w/rockabilly)
