Chris Cornell has always come off as sort of abrasive – at least in appearance. That hidden smile, those long locks of hair, and the pair of snake eyes that stare deep into your soul, all paint the picture that he’s more of a “to himself” sort of guy. His forthcoming live effort, Songbook, should disprove that. On new track “Cleaning My Gun”, Cornell speaks warmly to his surrounding fans, digressing on the unreleased solo track. He sounds as straightforward and down-to-earth as his friend Eddie Vedder. It’s not until he wails that you get the chills again, as he sings, “You know where I’m going, you know where I’m coming from.” Well, we do now. Check out the track below.
Songbook hits independent retailers on November 25th, as part of Record Store Day Black Friday.
