Jerry Cantrell Boggy: Depot 1998 Eacflac

Jerry traced the letters with a finger. The wood was warm from the day's sun. He could hear the ghost of a tablature in the grain, as if someone had once leaned there and taught the planks a cadence. He set his case down and took his guitar out. He tuned by ear, the way he always did: low and honest.

However, Cantrell’s songwriting is undeniable. He proves that he was the engine driving Alice in Chains' melancholic sound. The album feels like a natural successor to the band's 1995 self-titled album. It’s darker, swampier, and more personal. While it lacks the vocal interplay that made AiC legendary, it remains an essential listen for fans of 90s alternative metal and grunge. jerry cantrell boggy depot 1998 eacflac
