Behind The Song: Classic Rock Chronicles

Alice In Chains’ “Rooster”: A Song From Son To Father

Listen Later

The story behind one of Alice In Chains' biggest hits is deeply personal. “Rooster,” written by Jerry Cantrell, was what he imagined his father's experience in the Vietnam War was like, and the song was so spot-on, his dad told him he "hit the nail on the head."

Listen to the full story of "Rooster" on the new episode of the Behind The Song podcast with Janda Lane.
