Can’t say I am surprised - Jerry Cantrell is a brilliant musician and songwriter, and I can see where Elton would appreciate good songcraft.

I haven’t heard it yet - but I am always open to new AiC, even if Layne got lost…

Have you heard the first single? It’s pretty good, actually. Uh, be aware the actual official video on their web site contains nudity, but this youtube link does not.

Can’t click right now - about to go into a meeting. Didn’t you start a thread with a link to this a month or so ago? I think I saw it then and remember thinking it had potential if I could listen to it on something than my crappy workstation speakers…
