I would like to nominate the album: Keep It Hid - Dan Auerbach. From 2008 I reaaly liked Only by the Night - Kings of Leon

Synthfreek,

you are so right, I should "Wake Up" and have thought about AIC releasing there first album in 1989 (I think).
But its the only solo album Layne Staley released or stuff outside AIC he did that I know of. Id be happy to learn if hes done something else.
The Avett Brother - I & Love & You
Wilco - The Album
Steve Earle - Townes
Justin Townes Earle - Midnight at the Movies
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
Ill end this thread with stating My best of 2009 rock albums and it ends as i guessed but with two fantastic and unexpected runners up:

Best Rock 2009:
1. Keep it Hid - Dan Auerbach
2. Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures
3. Black Gives Way to Blue - Alice In Chains

Look forward to the 2010 albums!
Them Crooked Vultures - 'Them Crooked Vultures'
