Temple of the Dog

Temple of the Dog is a 1991 album by the Seattle supergroup Temple of the Dog, formed as a tribute to the late Mother Love Bone singer Andrew Wood. It blends grunge, hard rock and alternative rock with Chris Cornell's soulful, powerful vocals and a mix of acoustic ballads and heavier guitar-driven tracks, and includes a notable duet with Eddie Vedder on the song "Hunger Strike." The record is significant for its straightforward, earnest performances and for bringing together members of the Soundgarden and Pearl Jam circles in an early collaboration.
