Sunday Under Covers 2: Creeping Coastline Of Lights

The choice is difficult, as Lanegan's sources on the album are varied and his renditions range from excellent to sublime: undervalued folk artists (Tim Hardin and Fred Neil), cult indie bands (the Gun Club and the Leaving Trains), country superstars (Buck Owens), and traditional folk songs ("Shanty Man's Life" is particularly strong). I'm selecting, more or less at random, "Creeping Coastline Of Lights" by the Leaving Trains:
