Description

Universal Music release a special Temple of the Dog 25th anniversary reissue collection of their first and only album landmark album, newly mixed by Brendan O™Brien.

Temple of the Dog came together from the ashes of Mother Love Bone following the death from a drug overdose of its frontman Andrew Wood, Cornell™s close friend and roommate. Cornell wrote future TOTD songs Say Hello 2 Heaven and Reach Down to help process his grief, but the songs didn™t have any destination, he says. I was compelled to write them and there they were “ written in a vacuum as a tribute to Andy. My thought was that maybe I could record these songs with the remaining members of Mother Love Bone and that maybe we could release them as a tribute.

Mother Love Bone™s Gossard and Ament began playing with McCready, and they brought in Soundgarden™s Cameron to drum on demos. Because this was a collaboration, and a tribute, there was no commercial expectation for the Temple of the Dog album. It would be, Gossard would later observe, the easiest and most beautiful record that we™ve ever been involved with. Adds Cornell: Temple was about making an album simply for the joy of doing it. We weren™t concerned what anyone outside of our group of friends would think of it. It was the first and maybe only stress-free album that we all made.
