"Gentle Groove" sits on Apple, the one and only full-length album Mother Love Bone ever made, released through Stardog/Mercury on August 14, 1990. Five names share the music, Jeff Ament, Bruce Fairweather, Greg Gilmore, Stone Gossard and Andrew Wood, and the words belong to Wood alone.
The record carries a heavy shadow. Days before Apple was due in the shops, the singer overdosed on heroin; he died after a few days in a coma, and the band ended with him. It came out as a farewell nobody had planned, and critics were kind to it: in the New York Times, David Browne suggested it could stand among the earliest great hard-rock albums of the new decade.
