Listening Booth – Alice in Chains, “A Looking in View”
Because EMI is a bunch of tight-asses and won’t allow embedding of the official video for “A Looking in View”, I’m presenting a live version from an August Alice in Chains show in Berlin.
Damn that’s tight. A full review of Black Gives Way to Blue is forthcoming, but I need more time to absorb the return of one of the greatest bands from the ’90s. I can say with full confidence, however, that this song absolutely owns and is among the best in the band’s catalog. Layne is of course sorely missed, but William DuVall ain’t no slouch. Love those harmonies with Jerry Cantrell.

I think in William Duvall, Jerry Cantrell has found a kindred spirit. But Layne will be missed –
