Unreleased Chris Cornell music collected in new poshumous box set
A new posthumous box set celebrating the musical legacy of Chris Cornell is set for release in November.
The eponymous set was curated by Cornell’s wife, Vicky, in collaboration with his bandmates and friends. The 64-song tracklist includes material from Cornell’s various bands, including Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, and Audioslave, as well as music from his solo career.
Of note is the inclusion of 11 previously unreleased tracks, including a cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” and an original song, “When Bad Does Good”, which is streaming below.
Other unreleased material include live recordings of Cornell’s duet with Yusuf/Cat Stevens on “Wild World”; another duet with his daughter, Toni, on Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song”; Cornell’s personal arrangement of “One” featuring the lyrics to Metallica’s song set to the music of U2’s song of same name; and a first-ever album release of Audioslave’s “Show Me How To Live” recorded live in Cuba in 2015.
The album’s liner notes were penned by Cornell’s former bandmates and collaborators, including Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron, Audioslave’s Tom Morello, Temple of the Dog’s Mike McCready, and producer Brendan O’Brien.
Chris Cornell will also be available as a 17-song single disc set and on double vinyl. You can pre-order the various configurations here. Find the full tracklist below.
