    it makes total sense that you made this since Jerry cites Elton as an early influence and he was on Black Gives Way to Blue. This is awesome!

    You totally nailed all the Jerry-isms, from the groove, the orchestration of guitars and especially the vocal tecniques, like how he always does his "yeea-heah"s lmao. Great work! Always love seeing people give love to Cantrell.

      Same, Jerry Cantrell is a bonafide Rock God as far as I am concerned. It can be frustrating how some of the Greatest talents on this Earth don't always receive the accolades they are so deserving of. 🖤 🎸

    It's uncanny how well you capture Jerry's mannerisms both musically and vocally. The palm muted run in the solo is very facelift/dirt, and the vocals totally live in the "settling down" world. Absolutely fantastic.
