“Dam That River” by Alice In Chains
From the album Dirt (1992)
“Dam That River” by Alice In Chains appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2002. It was first released in 1992 on the album Dirt. Its best result is #1830 on the Fred XM Top 2002 Songs of All-Time (July 2002). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #7,179 alternative song of all time.
"Dam That River" is Jerry Cantrell's song through and through, words and music, and it lands on Dirt, the second Alice in Chains album, which Columbia put out on September 29, 1992. Cantrell plays guitar and sings backup, Layne Staley takes the lead, and Mike Starr and Sean Kinney hold down bass and drums: the four original members on one record for the last time, since Starr was fired in January 1993, out on the road behind Dirt.
Dave Jerden produced it with the band and mixed it, with Bryan Carlstrom recording, and it's all grind and menace, a squall of riffs on the record that would become the band's biggest seller.
