Temple of the Dog
This is a tribute to the vocalist Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone and Malfunkshun and most of the musicans became famous with the Band Pearl Jam (it also has Chris Cornell on vocals)
I got into this at the time due to my French girlfriend who was into Grunge Scene, whilst my taste at the time was heavier and more complex. Over the years the album has really grown on me I always liked it but now I appreciate it a lot more.
I comment on some of my favourites
Say Hello to Heaven A personal tribute from Chris to his friend Beautifully reflective and sad at the same time
Is It A All Night Thing. Back in my younger days I used to hang around places like the Marquee ( a small often sleeazy rock venue in London). Sometimes I be wondering the question of the title of this song!
Hunger Strike Both Chris and Eddie singing
Call Me a Dog I just love Chris vocals on this

I'm liking this a lot. The singer has a great voice that reminds me a bit of Dave Matthews. 5/5 from me.

Another album and band I'm unfamiliar with. Looking forward to giving it a go.

I've just added it to my Spotify playlists. I shall give it a whirl in the morning on the jolly old Raspberry Pi.

Interesting, just seen that the lead singer of this group, Chris Cornell, is also the lead singer of Audioslave, a group I like a lot... I must get around to listening to this album soon!

I really like this album and must get it. There are similarities to Audioslave (obviously I suppose) and this is my type of music so I have put it in my Amazon basket, £3.99 for Prime, can't be bad I thought the beginning of the first track has a Beatles esq. sound to it, which was quite enlightening. Thanks for the introduction John. |
