Scott Weiland is selling a digital album, the inventively titled A Compilation of Scott Weiland Cover Songs, via his official store. The item is a web exclusive, costs $15 U.S. and finds the onetime Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver singer reading material by Nirvana, the Stone Roses, David Bowie, the Smiths, Depeche Mode and others (full track listing below).
Keeners will note the disc comes on the heels of Weiland’s autobiography, Not Dead & Not For Sale, which was released last May via the Simon & Schuster imprint Scribner. The singer collaborated on the project with David Ritz, the "Sexual Healing" lyricist who has co-written autobiographies for Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and more recently the great Don Rickles.
