"Hangin' Tree" turns up on Songs for the Deaf, the 2002 record Queens of the Stone Age shaped as a loose concept album: a drive across the California desert from Los Angeles out to Joshua Tree, spinning the dial past stations broadcasting from towns along the route, Banning and Chino Hills among them.
Mark Lanegan takes the lead vocal and Josh Homme plays guitar, and Homme wrote it with Alain Johannes, who adds keyboard. Underneath them, Nick Oliveri holds down the bass on what turned out to be his last album with the band, while Dave Grohl, on his first, pounds the drums. Homme co-produced it with Adam Kasper and Eric Valentine, and Kasper engineered and mixed it.
