Wow!!! I think grunge era was the best era of music ever. It describe all of us lost souls and gave me meaning to myself. Billy Strings you just showed the world just how special and how music needed Layne Staley but most importantly how Layne Staley touched all music lovers. I was and always will be in love with Nirvanas music and Nirvana, peral jam, temple of the dog and Chris Cornell saved me in high school and college. But 17 years later following my divorce, it was Mad Season and Alice n Chains that saved me. So Mr Billy Strings I wish u would cover all the bands because you sing their songs with the same passion. You killed it brother and I have never heard a cover that had any passion, so thank you

Jerry was and is the heart of Alice in Chains but, Layne was the soul. Layne brought what no one else can. And their unplugged performance was just unbelievably beautiful. I've wore out three copies of that album and own all their other albums. Layne just had that intangible talent about him along with a unique voice that cannot be duplicated. Although Alice in Chains is my favorite band of any genre of any time ever, I've been hooked on Chris Cornell for awhile now. He's got a similar quality about him like Layne Staley had.

Every time that I’ve seen Billy take on any cover, he/they, so it appears and feels, only does so when he/they just knock it the ef out the park. Feels as the respect and acknowledgment to the songs they do choose to cover exudes in their performance. Much respect. Pumped to see them on 10/1 in Seattle.
