Question
Hello.
There's another song flying over the web called "Blood Tears Little Girl" which seems a really Layne vocals at a before-Alice phase. Do you know something about it?

Thank you.

Answer
Hello Anna!~

This has long been a quandary for Alice researchers.
I have several copies of that same song, and listen
to it every once in a while. It is quite good!
The answer is no, it is not Layne,
but no-one has ever come forward to claim credit for it.
I know this is not a lot of info, but it's all I have.
I myself hope to someday know who the vocalist actually is.

On the topic of the band Alice In Chains I can answer almost any question concerning discographies, recording sessions, concert history, tours, and their music (including bootlegs). However, my research only covers the years up to the death of Layne Staley (2002). This topic has been a consuming interest of mine for years and I have aquired a huge database of information: articles and interviews, chart histories and reviews, discographies, biographies, band histories, an EXTENSIVE music library comprised of demos, audio and video bootlegs, side projects, collaborations, soundtrack contributions, and audio/video studio releases.

Experience
