After the last AIC tour wrapped, I geared my mind towards the possibility of making another record of my own.”Ĭantrell played a pair of sold-out solo shows in Los Angeles joined by an eclectic group of musicians and friends, several of whom appear on Brighten. It’s always my first and foremost commitment, but it’s nice to explore different things and add another chapter to a growing body of work. Jerry says, “I’ve been in the band for almost 34 years now. The veteran rock artist delivers by offering up another dimension of his recognizable guitar sounds while at the same time featuring his signature vocals. Sometimes it takes a while for a good idea to find its best form. “It’s been kicking around in my head for like 20-plus years, haunting me. Talking about “Atone”, Jerry says, “As a fan of Ennio Morricone scores and Sergio Leone movies, it’s got a bit of that outlaw vibe, with a cool psycho hillbilly stomp” he explains. It was creative directed as a group effort by Jerry Photographer/Musician Jim Louvau singer/guitarist Greg Puciato visual artist Jesse Draxler and Photographer Tony Aguilera. The video is a perfect accompaniment to the song as it is a compilation of black & white footage of Jerry playing the song in outdoor locations such as Joshua Tree, the Salton Sea, Phoenix, and Los Angeles. As the momentum builds, he intones the hummable hook before a psychedelic break, and a hard-hitting hook evocative of the album’s incendiary spirit. Right from the jump, the riff rolls like a runaway freight train underscored by cinematic twang. “Running out of time,” Cantrell wails right before the hook, “Gotta find a way to atone/Gotta find a way to atone/Trying to find a way to atone.” Premiering exclusively with Rolling Stone, writer Jon Blistein said, “Atone” is a heavy track, although it’s undergirded by a sinister twang while the guitar riffs hit with grit and menace, as well as a bit of psychedelic unease. The record is available for pre-order and pre-save- HERE. Iconic singer, songwriter, guitarist, and Alice In Chains co-founder Jerry Cantrell returns with the release of his first single “ Atone” out today, from Cantrell’s new album, Brighten.
