Songbook is a live album culled from this tour and has Cornell sampling from all phases of his career, often spinning harder-rocking songs into moody reflective territory. First, he reunited with Soundgarden, their tour so successful it spilled over into a studio collaboration interrupted by Cornell launching an acoustic tour where he revisited his catalog, quite definitively tying his solo career and time with Audioslave to Soundgarden.

If you liked Euphoria Mourning or his Songbook acoustic album then you will like this too I am sure. The music here is a mostly stripped down, acoustic affair with excellent vocals to accompany to stark instrumentation. And no, unfortunately it's not him cursing "Scream" out Finally a Chris Cornell solo album that can stand next to his first solo effort, Euphoria Mourning. There's a short expletive-laden rant at the start of Ground Zero. Seems to be an alternate studio recording or at least a stripped down version (should note that it's not the demo version from the iTunes release of the Machine Gun Preacher either).Īlso realised where the parental advisory sticker comes from as well.

Tracklisting is out for the live Songbook album.
