TEMPLE OF THE DOG / TEMPLE OF THE DOG

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”.
