Chris Cornell – Cleaning My Gun by chriscornell
“My fans were pretty vocal, twittering and posting online, asking me to record the shows and put them out. So this album as a whole came from that, and I think we created something that really captured my tour and what I put out there each night,” said Cornell. “I’m happy to be able to give my fans back a little something extra special with this song.”
