Amazon.co.uk Review
Since Soundgarden's lamented breakup in 1997, grunge stud Chris Cornell has been working with his longtime friends and musical peers in the band Eleven--keyboardist Natasha Shneider and guitarist Alain Johannes. These stellar musicians make Cornell's latest album crisper, more musical, and less rocky than what one came to expect from Soundgarden. The soaring "Follow My Way" is epic in scope, and, in fact, Euphoria Morning is aptly titled; the album is a cohesive mood-invoking musical meditation, especially tracks such as "When I'm Down", which has a near-gospel feel thanks to backing vocals and a spare, uplifting vibe. Fans of Cornell's mellower work with the supergroup Temple of the Dog will enjoy this ardent and mellifluous 12-song collection from one of rock's most recognizable voices. --Katherine Turman

What can I say...this is an absolute classic!
I first really discovered Chris through Audioslave and I am at a complete loss that I have not found this CD sooner. Perhaps it is it's apparent 'failing' (from reading some of the reviews)that is to blame for it slipping through my normally very vigilant net.
The quality of the songwriting is first class, the vocals are superb as always and all in all this is a timeless album that deserves to be appreciated by generations to come.
It is different from Audioslave (who just rock, by the way), very chilled and melodic and while drawing from a wide range of familiar musical influences, Chris has produced an unique sound that only a truely talented musical craftsman can.
The highlights for me are Can't Change Me, Flutter Girl, Preaching the End of The World, When I'm Down, Disappearing One and Pillow of Your Bones, but in all honesty all the tracks have a little something that leave you wanting more.
In my eyes Chris is up there with the most influential songwriters of the 20th/21st century and I await the release of his next solo offering (rumoured to be early 2007)with sheer desperation.
'Euphoria Morning' is totally gorgeous.

If you've only recently discovered singer Chris Cornell via Audioslave, don't be fooled into thinking his previous band Soundgarden is all there is to discover. His 1999 solo album Euphoria Morning is his forgotten masterpiece - a beautiful album of adventurous, experimental and often introspective songs written and recorded with the help of Natasha Schneider and Alain Johannes of Californian band Eleven. Beautifully sung and including everything from the middle-eastern flavoured Can't Change Me to the stark epic of Steel Rain and the almost Elizabethan acoustic ballad Sweet Euphoria, this album also contains some of Cornell's best ever lyrics.

This is a great first solo album from Cornell. It is no way as hard as Soundgarden or Audioslave to come, but the songs are well written and his voice is superb. I was surprised at the style of the album, but with repeated listening and heard in it's own right, you appreciate the music and lyrics a great deal. Well worth a try if you're a fan of the above mentioned bands, and worth a listen if you like the slightly softer side of rock music in general.

Cool Solo Album
Some of the songs on this album sort of go back to the roots of soundgarden such as "moonchild". It be sweet if he added more heavy tunes on his solo albums. Read more
