DAUGHTRY has covered the TEMPLE OF THE DOG classic ‘Hunger Strike’ with some help from SEVENDUST singer Lajon Witherspoon.
The two musicians covered the track as a show of love and respect for the song’s original vocalist Chris Cornell and it gives both singers a chance to show off their own vocal power. Daughtry takes on the Cornell vocal while Witherspoon steps in for Eddie Vedder’s lines.
Witherspoon says: “What an honor to be a part of this incredible song and to work with my brother Chris Daughtry and the boys. This to me was a musical movement in our community and still to this day in the world.”
Daughtry adds: “Chris Cornell is one of the defining voices that grabbed me by the heartstrings and made me want to be a rock singer. ‘Hunger Strike’ is one of, if not the most iconic rock duets of our generation. It’s the whole ’90s wrapped up in one song! Doing this song with Lajon, one of my favorite humans I’ve had the pleasure of calling friend and brother means the world to me!”
