THE ANNOUNCEMENT

– Consequence’s Langdon Hickman calls Weiland “in peak form… absolutely unencumbered, underscoring just how special he was as a singer” *

WHY IT MATTERS
BUCKET LIST: there is no more Scott Weiland material coming, and this is one of the last documents of him carrying a room on his own. The surprise is how casual the whole thing feels — a nine-song set with STP staples sitting next to solo cuts, no ceremony attached.
