Carlile’s version of “Searching With My Good Eye Shut”, has received huge praise from Soundgarden’s guitarist Kim Thayil.
Thayil said, “That was Brandi’s choice and it was a good one,” Cameron said at the time. “‘Searching With My Good Eye Closed’ is one of Chris’ greatest songs, it has so much depth. It’s a colossus”.
He added, “Hearing Brandi and the twins completely rock the f**k out on that tune was amazing. I love how it turned out. Kim’s solo is pretty incredible too”.
