New Scott Weiland solo album

That's right, dust off your flannel shirt and faded jeans -or buy some leather pants and a Slash wig I guess- because the lead singer of the former bands, Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, is in the studio working on his 2nd solo album. We recommend that Scott dust off the flannel shirt and not the leather pants though. His 1st solo album, 12 Bar Blues, was released back in the late '90's when STP was in full throttle -and other than Tiny Music and Purple, is probably the best album Weiland has ever put out solo or collectively. Although there is a rumored STP reunion, Weiland is looking to release a record down the lines of his old school sound, no doubt with some modern structure that his 1st solo work shined with. Adrian Young, the wild hands behind the peddles of No Doubt, is lending his sticks to the project, and Veteran producer Steve Albini is apparently helping Weiland on the production side.
