Brother - Alice in Chains - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Clocking in at just under 21 minutes, Sap is an EP from Alice In Chains that stands as a testament to their knack for building rich layers of melody from grunge and grit. "Brother" opens the softer-sounding, folkier EP, which was released in 1992 and two years later was certified gold by the RIAA for the sale of more than 500,000 copies. The song marked the first time Jerry Cantrell took over on lead vocals, bringing his distinctive voice into the mix, with Heart's Ann Wilson also contributing vocal harmonies. The story behind "Brother" can be traced to another Alice in Chains track, hit "Rooster," which sketches out the life of Jerry Cantrell's father, also called Jerry Cantrell, who was a Vietnam veteran. On "Brother" Alice in Chains's Jerry Cantrell brings his younger brother to life, for a song written following his parents' divorce, when Jerry Cantrell was living with his mother and his brother was living with his father.
