The “Songbook” album includes the mix of Soundgarden (“Fell On Black Days,” ” “Black Hole Sun”), Audioslave (“Wide Awake,” “I Am the Highway,” “Doesn’t Remind Me”), Temple of the Dog (“Call Me a Dog”) and Cornell solo songs (“Scar On The Sky,” “Ground Zero”) that he performs at the shows, as well as versions of John Lennon’s “Imagine” and Led Zeppelin’s “Thank You,” drawn from the wide array of covers he’s done. It was something I wanted to give back, and I wanted to do it right away because I was just really knocked out by how it was received.” “All I was concerned about was finding versions of the songs that sounded like it felt like they sounded when I was there. “I wanted to get the infancy of this out there, because it’s very sparse, very rough, very new,” Cornell explains. Fans in the UK and across Europe will get the chance to see Chris.
