Temple Of The Dog
Description
Deluxe two CD edition includes bonus CD that includes previously unreleased
and rare recordings. 2016 release, a newly remixed version of the classic 1991
album by the grunge/hard rock supergroup. Temple of the Dog is the only studio
album by Temple of the Dog. The album is a tribute to Andrew Wood, the former
lead singer of Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone, who died on March 19, 1990 of
a heroin overdose. The album has been certified platinum by the RIAA in the
United States. Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, who had been Mother Love
Bone vocalist Andrew Wood’s roommate, approached former Mother Love Bone
members Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament about working on material he had written
when he was on tour with Soundgarden in Europe. The line-up eventually
included Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron and newcomers Mike McCready (lead
guitar) and Eddie Vedder (background vocals). McCready and Vedder were
featured on the album due to their involvement with Ament and Gossard’s next
project, which became Pearl Jam. The name Temple of the Dog is derived from
the opening lyrics of the Mother Love Bone song “Man of Golden Words”, “I want
to show you something, like joy inside my heart, seems I been living in the
temple of the dog”.
