From the beginning of their career to the present, AIC have defied any form of categorization or mold. No particular trend over the course of their 30-year career has influenced them to flip their jacket to become the "most popular" of the moment. A quick look at their stats proves they did well: over 30 million records sold, two #1 albums, six albums on the Billboard 200, five #1 singles, sixteen Top 10 tracks, 9 Grammy Award nominations. On "Rainier Fog," their new album, Sean Kinney's unique drum style tells an epic story, Inez's bass lines tell another, Duvall's guitar prowess and voice guide, tell, and nourish the triumph and torture of existence; the songwriting, voice, and now legendary approach to riff mastery from Cantrell combine for a simply brilliant performance. "The One You Know" will rip your head off, just like "So Far Under," the title track "Rainier Fog," and the aptly named "Red Giant" are deadly powerful. "All I Am" and "Fly" offer a chance for deep introspection. And then, what a pleasure to find that typical AIC sound that we all love!
