Vicky, worked extensively with Chris bandmates and friends to compile a collection of material from the late artists expansive career, showcasing his contribution to music history with selections culled from the deep catalogs of his three influential bands Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog and Audioslave as well as songs from his solo career. She turned to producer Brendan OBrien, who was a trusted partner to Cornell over the years and Jeff Ament who created the packaging for Chris Cornell.
The first unreleased track, When Bad Does Good, was produced, recorded, and mixed by Cornell and was found in his personal recordings archive. The track was a favorite of his and it wasnt until friend Josh Brolin, reminded Vicky of the unreleased song, that she decided to share it with his fans.
Since Chris sudden passing I have put all my efforts and energy into sharing his music and legacy with his fans from all over the world, says Vicky. I felt we needed to create a special collection to represent all of him - the friend, husband and father, the risk taker and innovator, the poet and artist. His soaring vocals found their way into the hearts and souls of so many. His voice was his vision and his words were his peace. This album is for his fans.
The breadth of all 17 selections on Chris Cornell display the full span of his artistic achievements, from the full-on kick of Soundgardens seminal Black Hole Sun to the mournful yearning of Temple of the Dogs Hunger Strike to the sensitive depth of Audioslaves Like A Stone to his spot-on solo theme to the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale, You Know My Name. This collection also contains a pair of unreleased recordings: a touching cover of Princes Nothing Compares 2 U that was cut live at Sirius XM, and When Bad Goes Good.
