Limted edition 12-inch single on cloudy yellow vinyl
Late in July 2021, Alice In Chains guitarist and vocalist Jerry Cantrell returned with “Atone,” the first single from his solo album, Brighten. Cantrell co-produced Brighten over the past year with film composer Tyler Bates and longtime engineer Paul Figueroa.
They welcomed a dynamic cast of supporting players, including drummers Gil Sharone and Abe Laboriel, Jr. (Paul McCartney), pedal steel master Michael Rozon, Vincent Jones on piano, Wurlitzer, and organ. Other rock legends added to the fun of this LP, including Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses) on select bass tracks, Greg Puciato (The Dillinger Escape Plan) handling all of the background vocals and Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens Of The Stone Age) overseeing the mixing of Brighten. Together, they recorded eight originals and the LP closes with an approved-by-Elton John cover of his classic “Goodbye” as the finale.
Jerry’s solo effort marks his first full-length release since Degradation Trip, the epic solo album he made in 2002 with future Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo and Faith No More drummer Mike Bordin.
