New Book Chronicles Career Of Grunge Greats, 'Dark Black And Blue: The Soundgarden Story'
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) There have been countless books penned about the leading grunge bands - namely, Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Surprisingly, few have been assembled about the mighty Soundgarden. But this is about to change, with the arrival of Dark Black and Blue: The Soundgarden Story.

Written by author/journalist (and longtime Soundgarden fan) Greg Prato, the book tells the Seattle band's complete story - beginning with its members' pre-SG days, all the way to today. Also featured are all-new interviews for the book, including chats with Matt Pinfield, Phil Anselmo, and Marky Ramone, among others, as well as rarely seen photos from throughout the band's history.

In addition to dissecting and analyzing all of their albums (including such classics as 1991's Badmotorfinger, 1994's Superunknown, 1996's Down on the Upside, etc.), readers will learn about the stories behind many of their classic songs ("Black Hole Sun," "Jesus Christ Pose," "Outshined," "Hands All Over," "Flower," etc.), as well as recollections of tours (Lollapalooza, Guns N' Roses, Neil Young, Faith No More, Blind Melon, Nine Inch Nails, etc.), goings on behind the scenes, and singer Chris Cornell's surprising and tragic death in 2017.

The 453 page paperback book is priced at $19.99 and the Kindle digital version is $9.99, and either can be purchased at https://www.amazon.com/dp/1691086134/. The book is also available as a Nook version for $9.99 at https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dark-black-and-blue-greg-prato/1133636710.
