Rhythm on the Rocks

Grunge Month: Alice in Chains, Dirt

Rhythm on the Rocks

Show Notes

Join us as we get down and dirty with one of the heaviest records ever made: Alice in Chains' Dirt. Frizz has a cold, hard seltzer, Bob's sipping an Iron City Light, and we're diving into the story of two Seattle misfits who scribbled the same twisted joke in their Dr. Seuss books and went on to write one of the darkest, most honest records of the '90s. Addiction, decay, and despair are all laid bare. So, pause Beavis and Butt-Head, grab a seat in your angriest chair, and settle in. We're heading down a hole with Alice in Chains.
