Best Albums of 2011: Chris Cornell - Songbook


Songbook is Chris Cornell's fourth solo album. However, this one isn't really new one, it's just collection of songs recorded acoustically during his solo acoustic tour which took place from March to May 2011 in US. The album, which was released only last month, contains tracks from Cornell's whole career.

That means, it features the most important songs from Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog and Cornell's solo albums. It also features two covers - Led Zeppelin's "Thank You" and John Lennon's "Imagine.

I think that this album is great collection which captures Cornell's awesome career. He is an extraordinary artist and songwriter and many of his songs sound even better acoustically. I love especially "Call Me a Dog" (yesterday's song of the day). It is just so powerful song. Of course, I like the whole album a lot because all songs sound great.

Song of the day: From Our Hands - "The Noise"

I am going to see this guys live tonight. They're awesome.
