UMeFollowing its digital premiere last December, Chris Cornell‘s posthumous covers album No One Sings Like You Anymore is now available on physical formats. The collection, which was released by Chris’ widow, Vicky Cornell, and their children Toni and Christopher, features the late Soundgarden frontman’s unique versions of songs recorded by artists including Guns N’ Roses, John Lennon, Janis Joplin and Sinéad O’Connor.
Vicky tells ABC Audio that Chris’ cover of Lennon’s “Watching the Wheels” — which the late Beatles legend wrote about his time at home with his family after taking a hiatus from the music industry in the mid-to-late ’70s — is among the most personally meaningful songs on the record.
“Chris was a huge fan…of The Beatles…and John Lennon, huge, huge fan,” Vicky says. “[The song’s] just about self-destructive behavior, making a choice and suddenly your entire world is your family, While Chris was still on the road, our family was still on the road. So that was that kind of touching, sort of personal meaning.”
