Temple Of The Dog - Temple Of The Dog
Originally, this album started out as a couple of songs written by Chris Cornell as an outlet for his grief at the death of Andy Wood, a close friend of his and lead singer of Mother Love Bone. Cornell asked the former MLB band members to record the songs with. The sessions eventually grew into The Temple Of The Dog project and ended up recruiting Eddie Vedder as a potential frontman. The album is very strong from the start with the first two tracks being the songs written by Cornell in tribute to his friend. If you like Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, you'll probably like this. Songs to definatly listen to are: Say Hello 2 Heaven, Reach Down, Hunger Strike and Wooden Jesus
