Background In 1996, after Alice in Chains opened for the first Kiss reunion show in Detroit, Jerry Cantrell began work on his first solo album. With the help of producer Toby Wright, whom he had previously worked with in Alice in Chains, Cantrell worked on the album through 1997. Columbia originally gave a projected October 1997 release date which had to be postponed greatly. Early internet sources gave the tentative album title as "Bogey Depot." In February 1998, Cantrell spoke about the status of Alice in Chains and his new solo project to MTV News: "Well, there's really nothing's up with Alice in Chains.
