Temple of the Dog was everything that was American rock. In tribute to Andrew Wood (deceased) of Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone, Chris Cornell of Soundgarden sung lead and backing (having contributed the idea), backed by Stone Gossard on rhythm guitar, Jeff Ament on bass, Mike Mcready on lead guitar, Matt Cameron on drums and Eddie Vedder providing lead and backing vocals, nothing existed as close to perfection. Nothing.
The band released its only album, the self-titled Temple of the Dog, in April 1991 through A&M Records. Although earning praise from music critics at the time of its release, the album was not widely recognized until 1992, when Vedder, Ament, Gossard and McCready had their breakthrough with Pearl Jam.
