Alice In Chains - Dirt (w/ Lunar Moth!!!)

The Album Concept Hour

Alrighty y'all, this episode is going to get DARK. We've talked about heroin as a subject matter in many songs for many bands, but today we get INTO it. Coming from an era glorifying the sex, drugs, and rock and roll style, Alice in Chains and their grunge cohorts recontextualized the lifestyle to be more of a cautionary tale than something to aspire to. In Dirt, we get the entire journey of heroin addiction; from the lackadaisical first time, to the brink of death's door, to the harrowing trial of withdrawal. They weren't the first band in the genre to experience the tragedy of heroin addiction and certainly wouldn't be the last, but Dirt remains one of the best examples of that internal conflict.
