A collection of recordings was put out in 2011.
Lanegan will be remembered for his voice, but also for his musical output. The restless musician tackled everything from blues to soul to punk to electronica within a single album. For those who haven't heard Whiskey For The Holy Ghost, please listen to its first track, "The River Rise."
Lanegan is survived by his wife.
