Screaming Trees

In January 1994, when the live acoustic recording of "Dollar Bill" took place, Screaming Trees was experiencing a pivotal moment in their career. The band had just released their fifth studio album, *Sweet Oblivion*, in 1992, which marked a significant mainstream breakthrough for them. This album featured popular tracks such as "Nearly Lost You," which gained substantial radio play during the grunge movement. The band's sound was characterized by a blend of psychedelic rock and grunge, showcasing Mark Lanegan's distinctive vocal style. The acoustic performance captured in 1994 illustrates a departure from their usual electric sound and highlights their versatility as musicians. Despite their achievements, the band struggled with internal tensions and lineup changes around this time, ultimately leading to their disbandment in 2000, making this period both a peak and a transitional phase in their career.
