Euphoria Morning, Chris Cornell

'MORNING' BECOMES HIM Cornell's solo debut hearkens back to the '60s

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Lead Performance: Chris Cornell

(A&M) In rock history, heavy metal arose out of psychedelia. In Cornell's history, it worked the other way. During his early years fronting Soundgarden, Cornell refurbished Zeppelin and Sabbath riffs for the '90s.

Now, for his solo debut, Euphoria Morning, he delves back into '60s psychedelic melodies and acoustic ditties, to moving effect. Fans will hear much of the punch and yowl they yearn for -- only with more refined melodies and Cornell's character finally clarified.
