ALICE IN CHAINS - 'Black Gives Way To Blue' Tracklist & Albumcover / Zusammenarbeit mit Sir Elton John

"We were thinking about adding piano to the track and a friend suggested we call Elton. I remember laughing and saying, 'Yeah, I'll get right on that.' But I decided it was worth trying and wrote Elton an email explaining what that song means to us - that it's a real, raw openhearted song for Layne. We sent him the track and got a call shortly after saying he thought it was beautiful and that he wanted to play on it. We were blown away. Elton John is a huge influence on me as a songwriter and having him on that song is an amazing honor for us."

"I've long been an admirer of Jerry Cantrell and when he asked me to play on 'Black Gives Way To Blue', I was very flattered and couldn't resist", so Elton John. "It was a great recording session with ALICE IN CHAINS for a beautiful song."

Zu den Aufnahmen äußert sich Cantrell: "Elton was finishing his Red Piano run in Vegas, so we flew there and hung out for a few hours. Walking into a studio and seeing the sheet music for that song on Elton's piano made it meaningful on so many different levels. The whole experience was pretty magical."

Nach über 10 Jahren Pause ist "Black Gives Way To Blue" das erste neue Studioalbum von ALICE IN CHAINS. Das Quartett (Gitarrist/Sänger Jerry Cantrell, Drummer Sean Kinney, Bassist Mike Inez and Gitarrist/Sänger William DuVall) hat das Album zusammen mit dem Produzenten Nick Raskulinecz (RUSH, FOO FIGHTERS) im Studio 606 in Northridge, CA und in den Henson Studios in Hollywood aufgenommen.
