Deluxe CD digipak artwork featuring glow in the dark artwork

Brighten is the upcoming third solo album by Alice in Chains guitarist and vocalist Jerry Cantrell, featuring the first single, "Atone"

Brighten is Cantrell's first solo album in 19 years, since 2002's Degradation Trip Volumes 1 & 2

"It was like an old school seventies record where a multitude of musicians played," smiles Cantrell.

"So it's not a set band. I got to make music with a bunch of guys I never had before, along with friends like Duff & Tyler & Gil who I've worked with previously."

"I've always been a fan of bands that were heavy on harmony. I've been lucky enough to have that relationship with Layne Staley and now William DuVall.
Greg and I worked together in a similar fashion and blended nicely. We were creating and changing this thing all the way up until the end.
It took way longer than I wanted it to, but it became an even better record."

"This record offers cleaner glimpses of what I grew up on, listened to, and am still inspired by today" he states. "I was raised by two country fans, so I think you can hear that energy in there as well.

This album has prominent roles for keys, strings, and pedal steel, which I haven't incorporated in such a heavy fashion before."
