I'll Take Care of You is the fourth solo album by former Screaming Trees vocalist Mark Lanegan. This album consists of cover songs.
It features Lanegan's interpretation of songs from a wide variety of songwriters, including Tim Rose, Tim Hardin, Booker T. Jones, and Buck Owens. Perhaps the most moving song in the collection is "Carry Home," which was written by the late Jeffrey Lee Pierce of The Gun Club (Lanegan would co-write "Kimiko's Dream House" with Pierce, which would appear on his next album Field Songs.)
I'll Take Care Of You also includes the traditional song "Little Sadie."
A review from NME said: "it's probably his finest, most tenderly-delivered work to date."
Pitchfork Medias Neil Lieberman said this about the album: "in this collection, Lanegan's managed to tug on the timeless threads that hold the patchwork of American music together. And that's certainly something to consider"

Famous quotes containing the word care:
“It’s only too easy to idealise a mother’s job. We know well that every job has its frustrations and its boring routines and its times of being the last thing anyone would choose to do. Well, why shouldn’t the care of babies and children be thought of that way too?”
—D.W. Winnicott (20th century)
