JERRY CANTRELL – I WANT BLOOD – ALBUM REVIEW
Given the magnitude of his day job with Alice In Chains, it can be easy to forget the some of the solo work completed by Jerry Cantrell. 2021’s ‘Brighten’ was his first solo effort in almost twenty years and reminded fans that he has more strings to his bow (or guitar in this case).
His 2002 solo album ‘Degradation Trip’ was a hidden gem of an era dominated by nu-metal. It offered the familiar roots of his AIC work but branched out into the popular styles of the time.
Mike Bordin and Rob Trujillo were both key components of that record and they are back for his new release, ‘I Want Blood’, alongside the likes of fellow previous collaborators Duff McKagan, Greg Puciato, Gil Sharone and Lola Colette.

It’s perhaps not a surprise then that this record feels like it has taken the best from each of his previous solo releases, a dose of AIC and a little pinch of experimentation to achieve something of a best of mix.
Indeed, if you are a fan of any of his previous work – you are going to fall in love with this album! If on the other hand you’ve never been a fan, then don’t expect this album that change that.
Either way though there are many worse ways that you could spend forty-six minutes, and you’ll undoubtedly leave with a renewed respect for this iconic musician.
