The Winding Sheet is Lanegans first solo work and showcases his adept skills as a lyricist and his deep, soulful voice. Highlights include Mockingbirds, Ugly Sunday and the haunting Wild Flowers. The late Kurt Cobain lends vocals to Down in the Dark, and for the folk classic Where Did You Sleep Last Night Cobain contributes guitar and vocals and Krist Novoselic plays bass. Nirvana would later also cover Where Did You Sleep Last Night on their Unplugged album. The album was produced by Jack Endino, Lanegan, and Johnson. With extra tracks I Love You Little Girl.
