this is not going to be a popular opinion, but I'm just not a fan of CC's most recent output. This new song doesn't do it for me. he is one of the best songwriters of all time, but the last few years, it seems more.....easy listening. I love his softer stuff, but Higher Truth and this new song just don't do it for me.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0

I loved the acoustic years of CC's solo career. The first time I heard the live in Sweden bootleg, was a real holy shit moment. I saw him do 4 shows during the songbook era. Everyone of them was amazing.That's what I was expecting from Higher Truth. Chris and his guitar. The first few listens I thought it had a little too much effects on some of the tracks, but it quickly became my favourite CC album. I love Higher Truth. It's an amazing album.Post edited by Zod on0

Different strokes man... Higher Truth is my favorite Cornell album. I think it’s genius. That’s part of the beauty of his body of work. So diverse that there’s something there for just about everyone. Just a fearless artist. So willing to try something new and give it all.

A few weeks ago I managed to listen to Chris' voice and feel actual joy.
Sometimes, though, I'll hear it and it'll feel as though my heart's being ripped out of my chest. Today was one of those days - I tried listening to the box set and suddenly it was May 18, 2017 again.Minneapolis 1998 | Jones Beach I & II, Montreal, and Toronto 2000 | Buffalo, State College, Toronto, Montreal and Hershey 2003 | Boston I & II 2004 | Thunder Bay, Kitchener, London, Hamilton, Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto 2005 | Toronto I & II 2006 | The Vic and Lollapalooza 2007 | Calgary and Toronto 2009 | PJ20 I & II, Toronto I & II, Ottawa, Calgary and Edmonton 2011 | London, Chicago, Spokane, Calgary, Vancouver and Seattle 2013 | Ottawa and Toronto I & II 2016 | Chicago I & II 2018 | Ottawa, Hamilton and Toronto 2022 | Philadelphia I & II 20240 -

Higher truth speaks to me

I also love Higher Truth. After Live in Sweden and the few years of the songbook tour, all I wanted was an acoustic CC album. When I first heard higher truth I thought it had too many other instruments and effects, but it quickly grew on me. It's easily my favourite solo album. Makes me sad that he went out on such a high note.

Just listening to some TOTD live stuff from the tour a few years ago. So sad that this guy isn't with us anymore. What I'd give to hear that voice live again. For me, he's the greatest rock singer that's ever lived.

I’m not sure if this was mentioned in the Tribute Concert thread before it was locked, but I’ve only just seen this Ross Halfin photo.
Chris’ guitar was plugged in and providing feedback at the end of the show...
What a heartbreakingly beautiful photo.“Do not postpone happiness”
