Mad Season

Musical Group

Mad Season was a Seattle supergroup formed in 1994 featuring Layne Staley, Mike McCready, Barrett Martin and John Baker Saunders; they released the studio album Above in 1995 and performed notable live shows such as the Moore Theatre concert.

Members: Layne Staley (vocals), Mike McCready (guitar), Barrett Martin (drums), John Baker Saunders (bass). Above was released in 1995 on Columbia/Sony. Mark Lanegan appears as a guest vocalist on multiple tracks. John Baker Saunders died in 1999; Layne Staley died in 2002.

The collected reviews praise Mad Season's sole studio album Above (1995) as a late-grunge, blues‑tinted masterpiece. Reviewers highlight Layne Staley's voice, Mike McCready's guitar work, Mark Lanegan's guest spots, and themes of addiction, loss and introspection. Above is framed as a compact, singular statement from a Seattle supergroup.

For:Fans of 1990s grunge and alternative rock; listeners who appreciate blues‑tinged, melancholic rock and the Seattle scene.

 We all meet from time to time Isn't it strange How far we've come now Am I the only one who remembers that summer Oh, I remember Every day, every moment that place was safe The music we made The wind carried it all away
