Jerry Cantrell was the lead guitarist and principal songwriter for the grunge band Alice in Chains. He was born on the 18th of March 1966 in Tacoma, Washington State.

He currently lives in Oklahoma at the Double-J Ranch.

Alice in Chain's dissolution in the mid-1990s was due to lead singer Layne Staley's recurrent drug addiction, and his and eventual withdrawal from the recording industry. Following his tenure with Alice in Chains, Cantrell began a solo career and released the album Boggy Depot, featuring Alice in Chains drummer Sean Kinney and bassist (one of four) Les Claypool of Primus. In June 2002 Cantrell issued his second album Degradation Trip on Roadrunner Records with Mike Bordin of Faith No More on drums and Robert Trujillo (Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Suicidal Tendencies) as bassist. Degradation Trip was re-released in December of that year as a double album on the same label, featuring eleven additional tracks. The album was released shortly after Staley's death and is dedicated to him. The Degradation Trip song She Was My Girl was included on the soundtrack for the 2002 movie Spider-Man.
