In a brand new iTunes initiative, Songbook will be released in 3 parts beginning with Songbook EP 1 (4 tracks) out now, and Songbook EP 2 (4 tracks) following on Tuesday, November 15th. On November 21st, the entire Songbook album will be available on iTunes. 24 hours prior to each EP’s release, the songs will be streaming on Billboard.com.

“CLEANING MY GUN” ON SOUNDCLOUD
Said Cornell, “My fans were pretty vocal, Tweeting and posting online, asking me to record the shows and put them out. So this album as a whole came from that, and I think we created something that really captured my tour and what I was putting out there each night.”
