Jerry Cantrell - Degradation Trip Volumes 1 & 2 (MOVLP2344) 4 LP Set
Degradation Trip is the second solo album by Alice in Chains lead guitarist Jerry Cantrell. The musical rhythms are comparable to his former band, but the shorter songs are balanced with long prog-rock epics. Jerry locked himself in his house to write 25 songs, all about different parts of his life. The lyrics are confessional and haunting, dealing with personal issues including drug abuse, hedonistic lifestyle of musicians, and relationships. It's a great reminder of the time in which Alice in Chains was one of the most popular bands in the grunge scene. For those who loved the band's slow and doomy riffs, this is a massive two-hour voyage through whatever Cantrell could dig up. The expanded limited (1&2) edition consists of all the material he recorded in the Degradation Trip sessions.
Jerry Cantrell is an American musician who is best known as the lead guitarist, co-lead vocalist and main songwriter for the rock band Alice in Chains. Besides his influential role in this Seattle grunge band he pursued a solo career, releasing two albums to date.
