Praise for the album and the tour includes:
"One of rock's most physically powerful and emotionally resonant vocalists." -New York Daily News
"Cornell
made his bones writing fiercely confessional hard-rock songs, then
singing them as if his life depended on it. The only difference at the
Beacon last night - you could hear so much more of the life inside." - Rolling Stone
"A stellar collection of folk-inspired, classic rock-kissed songs that revolve around his iconic pipes." -Entertainment Weekly
"The
raspy, trenchant singer of Soundgarden performed acoustically when he
last hit the Beacon Theater reminded many rock devotees of his
operatically stunning range." -The New York Times:
Produced by Brendan O'Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Neil Young), Higher Truth showcases
Cornell's constant evolution as a master songwriter, lyricist and
musical craftsman - telling human stories which transcend musical
genres. Inspired by the stark arrangements of musicians like Nick
Drake, Daniel Johnston and White Album-era Beatles, Cornell creates a
musical universe unlike anything he has done before. Higher Truth is
available via Universal Music Enterprises (UMe), and fans can purchase
the deluxe version of the album, which contains four bonus tracks, HERE.
Cornell
will kick off the nearly SOLD OUT European run of the Higher Truth
World Tour on March 23rd in Reykjavik, Iceland. A full list of European
tour dates can be found HERE.
