About Call Me a Dog

Temple of the Dog was an American rock supergroup formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1990. It was created by Chris Cornell of Soundgarden as a tribute to Andrew Wood, the late lead singer of Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone. The lineup featured Stone Gossard on rhythm guitar and Jeff Ament on bass guitar, both previously of Mother Love Bone and later members of Pearl Jam, along with Mike McCready on lead guitar and Matt Cameron on drums. Eddie Vedder contributed guest lead and backing vocals and later joined Pearl Jam as its lead vocalist. Pearl Jam’s debut album “Ten” was released four months after Temple of the Dog’s only studio album. The group released its self-titled album “Temple of the Dog” in April 1991 through A&M Records. Recording took place in November and December 1990 at London Bridge Studio in Seattle with producer Rakesh “Rick” Parashar. While the album received positive reviews upon release, it did not achieve significant commercial attention until 1992, when the success of Pearl Jam brought renewed interest to the project. Matt Cameron later joined Pearl Jam in 1998 following the breakup of Soundgarden in 1997, resulting in a Pearl Jam lineup that mirrored Temple of the Dog except for the absence of Cornell. Temple of the Dog reunited in 2016 for a tour marking the 25th anniversary of the album’s release, which was the only tour the band undertook. Studio albums Temple of the Dog (1991)
