"No One Sings Like You Anymore," out now, is a 10-song collection of covers recorded by Cornell in 2016 after touring in support of solo record "Higher Truth," released a year prior. The new set reflects his eclectic music taste, with covers of hidden gems and lesser-known cuts by John Lennon ("Watching the Wheels"), Janis Joplin ("Get It While You Can"), Electric Light Orchestra ("Showdown"), Ghostland Observatory ("Sad Sad City"), and others.
"This record showcases Chris' vocal abilities and the breadth of what he was able to do. There's a reason why he is one of the greatest voices of his time," says his widow Vicky Cornell. "What's really special about this is you get to see a different side of Chris. It gives you a glimpse into his world and lets you see him as a fan. Fans have their playlists and this would maybe be Chris' (playlist): what resonated with him personally, and what he thought could be fun and add his stamp on."
Cornell talks to USA TODAY about her late husband, with whom she shares two children: Toni, 16, and Christopher, 15. (His eldest daughter, Lily, 20, is from a previous marriage to Susan Silver.)
