From the CD Project...
Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies (1994)
Grade: LOVE
Comments: Seven perfect, dark tracks all about trying to find a home. Cantrell's guitars are just lovely, as are Staley's vocals. The horns sound great and the strings rarely sound shlocky. Classic rock at its best. I love every one of the songs, but some of the highlights are the single "I Stay Away", the opener "Rotten Apple," (this crappy video gives a hint as to why Alice ended up being the band I saw live most often during the grunge years), and the uncharacteristically gentle "Don't Follow".
