It may surprise some to find that Glenn Danzig turned 53 in 2008, but with a career that reaches back to the late '70s, including pioneering acts such as the Misfits and Samhain, he's been in the public eye for a long time. His greatest commercial success, however, has come with his namesake band, and with eight full-length albums to his credit, Danzig has left numerous quality songs on the cutting room floor. THE LOST TRACKS OF DANZIG aims to fix that. A two-disc set made up of cast-offs from every Danzig album, it's a comprehensive alternate history of this seminal band. Leathery blues-metal ("When Death Had No Name" ) and sadistic garage-fuzz ("Lick The Blood Off My Hands") represent various facets of Danzig's sound, but the real treat here is the 1950s balladry of "Cold, Cold Rain," a popular live standard finally getting a release.
