First ever complete retrospective of Chris Cornell’s career covering Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Audioslave and his solo works. This limited edition 4 CD deluxe edition set includes *Denotes previously unreleased material The limited edition 4-CD Deluxe Edition of Chris Cornell holds 64 songs with 11 recordings previously unreleased from all stages of Chris’ career including Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Audioslave and his solo works. Creative Director for the project is Jeff Ament (Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog) who oversaw the project design including the 54-page booklet with unreleased photos. Liner note contributions by Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron, Tom Morello, Mike McCready and Brendan O’Brien. The slipcase with 4 CD-sized mini-jackets is wrapped by a custom die-cut o-card that showcases Seattle with tree-line graphics on the front and other various cities Chris lived in throughout his life on the back. The centerpiece to the collection is the newly discovered, unreleased track “When Bad Does Good” found in Chris’ personal audio archive which was performed, recorded and mixed by Chris himself. The additional ten unreleased live performances include Chris’ duet with Yusuf/Cat Stevens on “Wild World” and another duet with his daughter, Toni Cornell, on Bob Marley’s indelible classic, “Redemption Song.” Temple of the Dog’s 25 th anniversary reunion/first-ever-official tour in 2016 is highlighted with hometown performances of “Reach Down” and the Andy Wood/Mother Love Bone favorite “Stargazer,” Chris’ personal arrangement of “One” featuring the lyrics to Metallica’s song set to the music of U2’s song of same name, and a first ever album release of Audioslave’s 2005 ground-breaking performance on Cuban soil of “Show Me How To Live.” Also in 2016, one of Chris’ personal career-topping moments was performing at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London where he covered The Beatles’ “A Day In The Life.” The three additional live selections from Sweden in 2006 “Wide Awake,” “All Night Thing” and Led Zeppelin’s “Thank You” are from the very first show Chris performed by himself with an acoustic guitar in front of an audience which became the creative spark for his future, highly successful Songbook tours. Review: Best ever - Very very good Review: Nice selection. - I think this is really the best out of the whole selection you had to choose from. Some songs are still hard to listen to even after two years. Well worth the money. The packaging is a little tricky, but its all about the music for me. Nice keepsake to one of the greatest rock voices ever, if not the best (imho).

Unbelievable
If your a Chris Cornell fan do yourself a favor buy this compilation... this is the evolution of his unbelievable talent. 4 CDs including tracks from the beginning of his career with SG, TOTD and Audioslave along with his solo releases. His vocals and lyrics were constantly changing, I didn't realize how much until now.. wish he was still here, his death is a tragic and horrible loss.

Amazing Music from and Amazing Musician
Lots of great music from a musician who left us to early. The version of "Nothing Compares 2U" is worth the price of this disc. I am writing this review with tears in my eyes thinking about the amazing music we could have got from Mr. Cornell. This is an amazing CD. Hope you enjoy this CD, Lots of great songs.

Words can't describe ...
Every song hits me deep, the voice, the lyrics, the creativity, the passion, the curiosity, he had it all. Though I think he was a little too worried about politics, thinking it actually mattered which puppet was in office. Surprised by his support of one candidate over another, yet one should be credited with trying the status quo which is working good enough.

No one can match his voice. A fine illustration of his talent.
My only compliant is the limited number of songs, but it does illustrate what a talent he was. From front man of one of Seattle's heaviest, no holds barred, right in your face, band Soundgarden to his progression into unfamiliar territory, as a solo acoustic artist. No one will ever match his voice. No one can sing like him. No one ever will. The only reason this fine collection exists is because of the shortness of his life. The packaging is fantastic as well. The size of the box, The partial slip case hiding half of his face, one side a forest, the other a Seattle sky line, perfectly encapsalizes his talent from beginning to end. The CDs matching his influence and talent are separated nicely by the choice of the tracks selected for each CD in there own slip cases are nicely covered by a single image from his periods in his storied career. You want to put this on a shelf to display it, not hide it in a collection of the standard CDs you've collected. It deserves being displayed.

If you love him you will love it
I really wish I could give it a four and a half . This is great collection that definitely shows off Chris Cornell's versatility as an artist. In this collection he grows from the banchee screaming grunge singer of Soundgarden to the bluesy rock of Temple of the dog to the monster that was audioslave and all threw the vastly different rock and pop of his solo career. The low point of the collection for me is the two songs from the scream album which I guess no one liked. I see why they felt they needed to include the songs just as a part of who he was but I didn't feel they needed two from that album. Also I did not care for the song Lies but it just wasn't my taste . Highlights other than his obvious massive hits include his multiple soundtrack songs which are all pretty amazing in different ways. The live tracks are nothing short of incredible. I like having all these random songs that I've had here and there over rthe years on one album.there was definitely new stuff I had not heard and I love the last few songs he recorded such as the promise, til the sun comes back around,and the final solo song when bad does good. I thought the version of whole lotta love with Chris and Santana was great. I love the live song with his daughter she is truly talented. I'm glad this set was released.i love it and it just breaks my heart that Chris had to die for us to get something like this. His memory and voice will never die . I'm glad I have this album but it's a sad reminder that's this is truly the end of Chris Cornell's music,barring the release of a final pieced together Soundgarden album.
