He also has a solo career and released the albums Boggy Depot in 1998 and Degradation Trip in 2002.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCantrell noted in an interview that he was \"raised on country music\" as a youth and that he admires the emotion conveyed in the genre. However, hard rock music caught his interest predominantly, and he bought his first guitar in his mid-teens. It would not be until the age of 17 that he began seriously playing the instrument. Cantrell would later cite guitarists such as Ace Frehley, Tony Iommi, Angus Young, Jimmy Page, and Eddie Van Halen as major influences. Cantrell's career outside Alice in Chains has not only consisted of two solo albums, but also many appearances with other musicians and on film soundtracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDegradation Trip is the second solo album by Jerry Cantrell, originally released in 2002. On the album, Cantrell enlisted drummer Mike Bordin (Faith No More) and bassist Robert Trujillo (Suicidal,Tendencies, Ozzy Osbourne). The album was dedicated to Alice in Chains lead singer Layne Staley, who died two months before the album's release. Degradation Trip featured two singles and was well received by critics, faring better than Cantrell's solo debut and bearing strong resemblance to his work in Alice in Chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hallmark of Cantrell's style, many unorthodox rhythms and time signatures are exhibited throughout the album as well as heavy use of wa-wa guitar effect and choir-like vocal harmonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album's grungy heaviness is balanced, however, by moody acoustic ballads such as the somber \"Angel Eyes\". Serene, tangy guitar riffs featured in the likes of \"Gone\" elude more to Cantrell's Southern roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable on vinyl for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e180 gram audiophile vinyl\u003cbr\u003e4 page insert\u003cbr\u003eGatefold sleeve\u003cbr\u003eFounding member of Alice In Chains\u003cbr\u003eBand includes drummer Mike Bordin (Faith No More) and bassist Robert Trujillo (Metallica)\u003cbr\u003eIncluding \"Anger Rising\" and \"Angel Eyes\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lithium Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50756115824898,"sku":null,"price":64.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/9161\/9330\/files\/MOVLP1809_Cover.webp?v=1792023522","url":"https:\/\/lithiumrecords.ca\/products\/jerry-cantrell-degradation-trip-new-vinyl-2lp-music-on-vinyl-180g-audiophile","provider":"Lithium Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
