Album Notes Eight years after his first solo outing, EUPHORIA MORNING, former Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell finally released a follow-up, CARRY ON. In the interim, however, Cornell was far from idle--the powerhouse vocalist essentially took the place of Zack de la Rocha in Rage Against the Machine, and the resulting ensemble, Audioslave, issued three highly successful albums. Recorded while Cornell was still a member of Audioslave, CARRY ON found the performer back on his own by the time of its June 2007 release. Given that Cornell was the primary songwriter in Audioslave, CARRY ON isn't a radical departure from that group's guitar-heavy drama, as evinced on the fierce opener, "No Such Thing." However, Cornell does return to EUPHORIA MORNING's eclectic territory somewhat, particularly on the bluesy "She'll Never Be Your Man," which showcases the plaintive side of his expressive voice. Produced by Steve Lillywhite and featuring a cadre of largely under-the-radar musicians, CARRY ON seemingly allows Cornell to reclaim his artistic identity, a point hit home by the album's dramatic closing number, "You Know My Name," which served as the theme to the lauded '06 James Bond film CASINO ROYALE.
