Brighten

Jerry Cantrell

Sun-drenched Americana filtered through a grunge icon's lens. Warm pedal steel, signature harmonies, and a sense of hard-won peace replacing the usual shadows.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The haunting interplay between the pedal steel and Cantrell's signature heavy riffing on Atone.
The soaring, optimistic vocal harmonies that elevate the title track into an anthem of resilience.
The stark, respectful vulnerability of the Elton John cover Goodbye that closes the record.
