Audioslave and Temple of the Dog, Chris Cornell's, 2 decade, 14-album
career has heralded deafening praise and milestone accomplishments.  The
multi-Grammy award winning Cornell has been heralded as the chief
architect for grunge. After recording the last album with Soundgarden,
Cornell continued to shine as a critically acclaimed and versatile solo
artist. "Can't Change Me," the first single from his 1999 solo debut
Euphoria Morning, was nominated for a Grammy Award, while a reworked
version of "Mission" was included on the soundtrack to the film Mission:
Impossible II. Other Cornell written tracks were used in various films
including Great Expectations and Ironman, The most critically awarded of
Cornell's big screen hits is "You Know My Name," the theme song for
James Bond's Casino Royale, which he co-wrote and performed. Chris
Cornell is the only American male solo artist to date who has ever been
commissioned to write the theme song for the Bond franchise. In March of
2009, Chris Cornell and Timbaland collaborated, on a groundbreaking solo
effort entitled, Scream.  Keeping in line with Chris's previous work,
Cornell continues to defy genre's and push the envelope of sound.=20
