Chris Cornell - Songbook

Soundgarden man puts off that Soundgarden record a little bit longer..

Rating: 6

Just when you thought a new Soundgarden record was on the horizon, a new Chris Cornell record has appeared! Never fear though, it’s much better than ‘Scream’ (though ‘Ground Zero’ does appear, hugely improved we hasten to add). ‘Songbook’ is a live and acoustic compilation of many of Cornell’s finest songs and a few covers, but it’d be a far easier listen if it was a proper studio release. After spinning this though, Soundgarden’s UK visit can’t come soon enough… that voice!
