I always like this album, but never listened to it much. I guess with the new Alice in Chains coming out, I've been on a Alice jag, and so this solo disc has been in that rotation, and it is REALLY fucking good. It has a good range of moods, tempos and styles. Plus, damn, a lot of the songs show Jerry has a real talent for songwriting.

So, take a listen to Boggy Depot by Jerry Cantrell.
If you already have, then, you're already with me, right?

    I never heard it. But I have Degradation Trip Vol 1&2 and it is stellar.

    I saw Jerry on tour with those albums and I have to say it was kickass seeing him in some really small venues. The man is talented.

    never in question! jerry has always been the real force in AIC 8-)

    all of his solo work was stellar enough that i never desired an AIC reunion... but if thats what it takes to hear new jerry music then i wholeheartedly support it

    I like bogey depot. I probably like a number of songs on it more then i like it as a whole album though, but this is why i have faith in the new AIC being good. Jerry's solo stuff was good he never stopped writing good stuff.

    To form an analogy everyone thought when dinosaur jr was coming back that the new dino stuff would suck. well if you followed J's career his solo stuff he had been working in in the early to mid 2000's was very good. So no surprise now they have let out two very good albums for that band.

    anyway that is a bit off topic as for Bogey Depot some great stuff on there and My Song is a kick ass track!

    I didn't catch any of his solo tours, wish I had, because I doubt these songs will find their way into an Alice setlist. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
  • Such a great album, "Hurt a long time" is such a beautifully painful song. "My Song" is great too.

    I have it, but I haven't listened to it too much. I liked the shorter version of Degradation Trip more.

    I'm glad he's writing more music though. :)

    If that's the case, you have GOT to get on Boggy Depot...IMO, it's even better.

    Yeah totally agree. Degradation Trip is good, but it can get a little lost in it's heaviness and darkness. Boggy Depot is a more well-executed endeavor.

    Looking forward to the Alice club tour. Very cool
