Unabridged Audiobook
Pretty good overview of events, albums, songs, etc - not so in depth which is understandable given the mess for rights, etc. that occurred from his death up until just last week when Chris' estate and the band came to terms (oddly while I was finally getting around to reading this book). I have been a long time fan of Soundgarden, Audioslave, and TOTD so enjoyed getting a little (again, not super in-depth but enough facts and interview snippets to inform plenty) background for the foundations, the stories, the progression, etc of Chris' life and career. As a big fan of his music (best voice in rock - period.), I took the time to follow the musical journey and listen to each album from Chris' career as I got to that part of the book. A fun way to experience the book and the music it speaks about at the same time. Good book, good storytelling, so very sad to lose him so soon, but the loudest of love for his music.
I have been a fan of Chris Cornell since the early 90’s, so this review may be a little bias. I loved him, and I loved this book. It is written by a fan for a fan. This book is about his musical journey, and everything he went through and accomplished. The ups and downs, the good and bad. It’s not really about his personal life, though it is touched on a little. I think Chris was a private person, and his personal life is not someone else’s story to tell. So some people may be disappointed in that. Anyone who is fan of the singer, songwriter, and musician he was will love this book.
Great stories on the iconic Chris Cornell
Though sad the book inform Chris life and how he became successful. The narrator was wonderful.
