solo projects, and is part of Alice inChains' harmonizing dual-vocal style. He resides in Los Angeles and spends time on his family
ranch in Oklahoma. Cantrell's early influencesmade Alice in Chains' heavy metal tones stand out among their fellow
grunge/alternative rock-oriented bands of the Seattle music scene.However, his musical range also extends into elements of
blues and country as heard on his solo debut album. Cantrell's guitar playing isknown for its unique use of wah pedal as well as
odd time signatures. In July 2006, British hard rock magazine Metal Hammer awarded Cantrellthe title of Riff Lord, at its annual
Golden Gods Awards show, held at the London Astoria. He was apparently thrilled at winning the title, overseveral famous artists
such as Slash, James Hetfield, and Jimmy Page. On September 29, 2009, Alice in Chains, with William DuVall as co-vocalist,
released their first record since the death of Layne Staley, Black Gives Way to Blue, and are touring in support of the album. « hide |
