Alice in Chains' Second Studio Album 'Dirt' Celebrates 30th Anniversary

This year marks a significant milestone for the iconic grunge band Alice in Chains, as their second studio album 'Dirt' turns 30. Released in September 1992, 'Dirt' is widely regarded as one of the greatest heavy music albums of all time, and its impact can still be felt today.

To celebrate this anniversary, a special live event was held at The Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) in Seattle, WA. The performance featured Alice in Chains themselves, along with other artists who paid tribute to AIC classics. One standout performance was a stunning cover of 'Rain When I Die' by Dallas Green (of City and Colour and Alexisonfire fame).

The event also marked the anniversary of the album's release, which came at a time when live music was fully shut down due to the pandemic in December 2020. It was a testament to the enduring legacy of Alice in Chains that their music could still bring people together in such challenging times.

'Dirt' is an album that has been widely praised for its raw energy and emotional intensity. The album features some of AIC's most beloved songs, including 'Them Bones', 'Rain When I Die', 'Down in a Hole', and 'Would'. These tracks showcase the incredible vocal talent of Layne Staley, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest hard rock singers of all time.

As we look back on the album's 30-year anniversary, it's clear that 'Dirt' has left an indelible mark on the music world. Its influence can be heard in countless bands and artists who have followed in AIC's footsteps, and its songs continue to resonate with fans around the globe.
