If you're a true Layne Staley fan, don't skip this... Layne, along with brothers Ron and Jesse Holt, recorded this gem, Tell Me How to Love You, after the breakup of Alice N' Chains (formerly Sleze), before he went on to form Alice in Chains. Listening to this recording feels like witnessing an artist in transition. You can already hear hints of the raw passion that would later define Layne's unmatched voice. He was still searching, still experimenting, and still discovering the sound that would eventually inspire millions. That journey is what makes this recording so special. It captures a young musician finding his path, and that is something I will always cherish and be grateful for. Thank you, Layne, for never giving up on your voice and for allowing it to evolve into one of the most powerful and heartfelt voices rock music has ever known. Your journey reminds us that greatness isn't found overnight. It grows through passion, perseverance, and staying true to yourself. Forever grateful for your music and your legacy. We still hear you. We still miss you. And we will always keep your memory alive. 🌸🩷 Photo credit: photographed sometime in the 1980s by his mother, Nancy McCallum, at their home in Bellevue, Washington.
