Description
Double album on orange vinyls with gatefold cover. Limited 500 copies
Alice In Chains shadow has grown longer as post-grunge settles into homogeny. Every outfit from Godsmack to Soil claims them as an influence; Staind’s Aaron Lewis even wrote Layne in tribute to the band’s departed frontman. Zakk Wylde throws his own goatee into that ring with Black Label Society’s Hangover Music, Vol. 6, a largely acoustic album that recalls both Jar Of Flies and Wylde’s own Book Of Shadows. He handles vocals, piano, and acoustic duties himself, also contributing the occasional display of electric guitar wizardry just to remind listeners of where he came from. Ozzy’s influence looms at least as large as Alice in Chains — he and his family are thanked prominently in the liner notes, and material like the ballad Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow sounds like it could have been written for him. (Wylde also offers his own tribute to Staley, also called Layne).
