The box set of unreleased Chris Cornell tracks was compiled by the singer's widow, band members, and friends
A box set celebrating Chris Cornell , featuring previously unreleased recordings, was released today. The set was organized by Vicky Cornell , the singer's widow, in collaboration with former band members and friends.
The album features 64 tracks encompassing his work with Soundgarden , Temple of the Dog , and Audioslave , as well as his solo projects. To demonstrate the vastness of his catalog, the album's liner notes were written by Cornell's collaborators. Some of them include: Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron of Soundgarden , Tom Morello of Audioslave , Mike McCready of Temple of the Dog , and producer Brendan O'Brien .
In an interview with Rolling Stone , Thayil said the set represents: “the breadth of Chris’s career and the wide spectrum of stylistic approaches to songwriting.” He added, “Obviously Chris isn’t here to give his opinion, so we have to try to guess what his feelings would be. There are instances where I distinctly remember him not liking a song or an album. Or he didn’t want that particular version. So we didn’t use it.”
The box set features eleven unreleased songs, including "When Bad Does Good," which has a music video starring his son, Chris Cornell Jr. It also includes covers of songs by Prince and Bob Marley .
