Date - 1991
Status - Acquired
As many know by now, Temple of the Dog was formed by Chris Cornell as a tribute to departed Mother Love Bone lead singer Andrew Wood. Wood died of a heroine overdose. The band, though a super group in retrospect was made of local Seattle musicians. Cornell and drummer Mat Cameron would become famous as half of Sound Garden and the rest of the band would go on to form Pearl Jam out of the remains of Mother Love Bone. Its hard to imagine that at the time the recorded this album Eddie Vedder was just some dude from San Diego with a mix tape of vocals.
Pushing Forward Back is a real fusion of Pearl Jam and Sound Garden. The guitar work sounds very Pearl Jam, and Cameron's drumming is unmistakable.
