Mad Season was a Seattle grunge side project / supergroup formed in 1994 featuring Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready, Alice In Chains vocalist Layne Staley, Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin, and The Walkabouts bassist John Baker Saunders.
Mad Season only released one album, Above, in March 1995. Its first single, “River Of Deceit”, was a radio success, and Above was certified Gold by the RIAA a mere three months later in June 1995.
Barrett recently provided the following update: “Hey folks, just a quick update on Mad Season as we approach the 30-year anniversary of our album Above, released back in March of 1995. On March 14th we will be releasing a newly remastered, double vinyl edition of the Above album, with bonus tracks that include the three additional songs that Mark Lanegan sang from the attempted second album that we never finished (‘Locomotive’, ‘Black Book Of Fear’, and ‘Slip Away’).”
“Mike and I also wrote some new liner notes that come in a black velvet-stamped booklet, as we remember the band and our late friends Layne, Baker, and Mark. There are various versions of this new double vinyl edition, including Layne’s original artwork, and some color variations in the vinyl. It’ll be available at fine record stores everywhere on March 14th (online too), so visit your local record shop then. Mike and I want to thank you all for the amazing support you have given us and our bands over the decades, we love you all, and we continue to remember our friends through the music we made together.”
