The full interview will be published later but here’s a snippet from the site and it’s about Alice in Chains recording a new album.
UltimateClassicRock.Com: You guys played an interesting role in the development of the new Seattle music scene in the ’90s. One of my favorite musical discoveries was bringing home the ‘Sap’ EP by Alice in Chains and discovering that you were on it. It has such a wonderfully organic feel – how did that collaboration come about? Ann: Well, it came about from just us all hanging out together in social situations. In Seattle, it’s a pretty tight music scene, especially in those years. We’d all show up at each others gigs and then come back to usually my house, because my house is central. We’d hang out and I just got to know the Alice guys, especially Jerry the most at first. We’d all be sitting on the kitchen counter, drinking beers and smoking ciggies and stuff. And then pretty soon, they were working and they had this song that needed a high voice and they wanted a woman, but not just anybody. So they asked me and it was really fun – it was like crossing over some kind of taboo line, you know, because we were considered to be an ’80s band, but we weren’t — we were really just a band. I’m just the singer, I can go anywhere and sing. It was really great. I saw those guys just yesterday. I went over to visit them in the studio where they were working on some new stuff – they sound amazing! How can Jerry not sound amazing, but I mean, it really does – they’re a monster.
