Cornell won Best Rock Performance posthumously at the 61st Grammy Awards for “When Bad Does Good.” The track was a favorite of his and it wasn’t until friend Josh Brolin reminded Vicky of the unreleased song that she decided to share it with his fans. “When Bad Does Good,” was produced, recorded, and mixed by Cornell, and was found in his personal recordings archive. The 88 selections on Chris Cornell display the full span of his artistic achievements, from Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” to Temple of the Dog’s “Hunger Strike” to Audioslave’s “Like A Stone” to his spot-on solo theme to the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale, “You Know My Name,” a touching cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” that was cut live at Sirius XM, and the previously unreleased track, “When Bad Does Good.” It is my mission but also great privilege to continue to honor Chris’s legacy and contribution to music history for future generations to discover.” This album is so special in that it showcases the vast scope and breadth of who Chris was, not only as one of the greatest vocalists of all time but as the prolific and tremendous songwriter he was as well. I am so thankful for the support of everyone who loved my husband. Cornell’s wife, Vicky shared, “When we released Chris Cornell earlier this year, the response from his fans was overwhelming.
