Down in a Hole

Posted on June 7th, 2008 in Uncategorized by admin

“Down in a Hole” is the fourth song (twelfth on some pressings) from the 1992 album Dirt by Alice in Chains. The song was written by Jerry Cantrell about one of his previous girlfriends . He was at first hesitant to present the song to the band, feeling that the song was too soft, but after a positive response from the band, they followed through and recorded it, and it even became one of the five video-singles from the album. An acoustic version was performed for the band’s Unplugged performance.

Cover Versions

The song was covered by professional baseball player Bronson Arroyo on his 2005 album, Covering the Bases, which lists the song as “Down in the Hole.”

On his low-key 2007 tour - in support of his album Easy Tiger - Ryan Adams has been covering the song live with his band, The Cardinals.[1] A cover of the song will also be on Adams’ upcoming EP Follow The Lights
