Candlebox was never Far Behind

The first Candlebox song I heard and liked was “Far Behind”. The band had a unique sound to it, it was not metal anyway, but that lead solo was too much to leave it alone. I still listen to their debut album and Peter Klett’s hard bluesy and funky lead solos still sound fresh, vibrant and blasting enough.



I don’t like “You” as repeated airplay has created an aversion for that hit single. Candlebox meant “You”, I disagree. The hard debut album gave away to more alternative and slower numbers in “Lucy”, but Klett outshone everything with his bluesy solos.

Candlebox is an unforgettable band, a notch over other hyped grunge bands in the 90s.
