According to The Pulse Of Radio, SOUNDGARDEN singer Chris Cornell makes a guest appearance on the new album from country rockers the ZAC BROWN BAND. The disc, titled “Jekyll + Hyde”, arrives on April 29 and the track that Cornell performs on is called “Heavy Is The Head”. This is the second time that Brown has collaborated with an artist associated with the Seattle rock scene: in 2013, FOO FIGHTERS frontman Dave Grohl produced a four-song EP for the band called “The Grohl Sessions: Vol. 1”.

“Jekyll + Hyde” will be ZAC BROWN BAND‘s album first as part of a new partnership between Zac‘s Southern Ground Records, fashion designer John Varvatos and Big Machine Records/Republic Records.

The other super-busy member of SOUNDGARDEN, drummer Matt Cameron, took time out during the band’s current Australian tour to discuss pulling double duty behind the kit for SOUNDGARDEN and PEARL JAM.

He explained, “I’m not 25 anymore, and I don’t really need to be out on the road as much as I have in the past. I definitely want to be home a lot more with my family… I’ve got kids. And that’s part of the equation too.”

On whether he would ever decide to give up one band and cut down on his live schedule, Cameron said, “I certainly don’t want to trip anyone up. If it ever gets to that state, then we just have to sort of figure it out at that point. But so far it’s been working out great. We’re all been friends, and we’ve all been in bands for a long time. We all know that’s the reality of our job at this point.”

Cameron sat out most of SOUNDGARDEN‘s live work last year due to commitments with PEARL JAM. His replacement on the road was Matt Chamberlain.

SOUNDGARDEN plans to reconvene in the studio later in the year and begin working on a follow-up to its 2012 album, “King Animal”.
