Morphine — музыкальный коллектив из США, образованный в 90-х гг. ХХ века Марком Сэндменом (вокал, бас-гитара), ранее игравшим альтернативный блюз в "Treat her right", Дэной Колли (саксофон), бывшим членом бостонской банды "Three collers" и Джеромом Дюпри (ударные). Интересно, что в «Morphine» отсутствовал гитарист. Взамен этого коллектив предлагал слушателям мрачную, порой откровенно депрессивную музыку со слайдовыми басовыми линиями, гармонично сочетающимися с завораживающими саксофонами и хрипловатым вокалом. Оригинальный стиль группы — своеобразную, практически не имеющую аналогов смесь рока, джаза и блюза, — музыканты называли «лоу-роком» (low rock), буквально — «низкий рок». Основным автором музыки и текстов стал Сэндман.
Начало дискографии "Morphine" было положено в 1991 году, когда на небольшом инди-лейбле "Accurate/Distortion" вышел дебютный альбом "Good". Интерес к этому релизу проявила более крупная независимая компания "Rykodisc Records", которая на следующий год переиздала пластинку. Альбом пользовался большой популярностью на студенческих радиостанциях, а также получил очень лестные обзоры в альтернативной прессе. После выхода диска Дюпри покинул группу, уступив место бывшему коллеге Сэндмана по "Treat her right" Билли Конвэю. Настоящий успех пришел к "Morphine" в 1993 г. с выходом второго лонгплея, "Cure for pain". Особой популярностью пользовались треки "In spite of me", "A head with wings", "Buena", "All wrong", ''Thursday'' а также бесподобная заглавная композиция. Отзывы на пластинку были весьма и весьма положительными, а после продолжительного американо-европейского тура оказалось, что "Cure for pain" разошелся тиражом свыше 300000 экземпляров, что являлось потрясающим результатом для инди-релиза.
Релиз 1995 г., «Yes», стал более легким, более доступным для радиоэфира. Слушатели отмечали, что музыка становится светлее, прозрачнее. В 1996-м мажорный лейбл "Dreamworks Records" перекупил контракт у "Rykodisc", и в 1997 году на нем состоялся дебют группы с альбомом "Like swimming". Видео на песню «Early to Bed» было номинировано на «Грэмми». И хотя в музыкальном плане диск был менее удачным, чем предыдущие релизы, при поддержке фирмы он открыл дорогу коллективу к широким массам. Осенью 1997-го также вышел сборник редких и ранее не издававшихся вещей "Morphine" под названием "B-Sides & Otherwise".
Через 2 года «Morphine» приступили к записи нового альбома — «The Night». В ней участвовали виолончелистка Джейн Скарпантони, органист Джон Медески из группы Medeski, Martin and Wood и прочие. Вернулся в группу Дюпри.
В начале июля 1999 года Сэндмeн отправился в Италию, чтобы дать несколько концертов с Morphine. 3 июля в Палестрине, прямо на сцене, он неожиданно скончался от сердечного приступа: ему было всего 46 лет. В 2000 году в продаже появились две работы «Morphine»: долгожданный студийный альбом The Night и концертник Bootleg Detroit, состоящий из 18-ти известных композиций группы. В 2009 лейблом Rhino Records был издан сборник «At Your Service», включавший в себя неизданный материал «Morphine».

Mark Sandman's Life in Music (1953-1999)
Morphine leader Mark Sandman was the inventor of a sound called "low rock" — the distinctive blend of sonorous saxophone, bass and deep grooves that, along with Mark's lyric poetry, propelled Morphine to fame. But Mark created much more than the brilliant music of Morphine. He was a tireless musical experimenter who wrote and recorded constantly throughout his life. Although Morphine and the seminal swamp-blues quartet Treat Her Right became well known and successful, much of his work was never commercially released and remains unheard.
Sandbox brings everyone into that circle. After 5 years meticulously culling the large collection of original music, poetry and art left behind by Mark after his untimely death in 1999, the surviving members of Morphine, Bill Conway and Dana Colley, have assembled the essential Mark Sandman collection. More a musical adventure than a "greatest hits" set, the 30 songs on Sandbox are connected by the voice and the singular musical and lyrical vision of Mark Sandman. For Morphine and Treat Her Right devotees, it's a final affectionate encore. For the uninitiated, an invitation to discover the depth and scope of Mark's unique and challenging artistry. Sandbox also includes a DVD of rare and unseen footage, artifacts of Mark's career and even more Sandman music.
