Sound: Rusty Cage

@allisonhagendorf

35 years of Soundgarden Badmotorfinger! 🔥🎸 Chris Cornell wanted to create a “hillbilly Black Sabbath crossover,” and the result was “Rusty Cage,” one of the most iconic tracks of the grunge era. Five years later, @Johnny Cash turned it into an outlaw country classic. Same song, two legends, two completely different perspectives. From a young man desperate to break free to a legend who had already lived a lifetime. This is the story behind Soundgarden’s “Rusty Cage.” 🤘 What’s your favorite track
