Video: Old Dude Performs Haunting Acoustic Cover of Alice in Chains’ “Nutshell”

England’s Frank Watkinson first came to our attention last year with a deeply emotional cover of Slipknot’s “Sulfur.”

Now Watkinson has returned — this time with his take on “Nutshell” by Alice in Chains. And “Nutshell” by Alice in Chains was already a deeply emotional song. So you may need a hankie for this one.

You can enjoy Mr. Watkinson’s cover below.

Although things have been kinda quiet in the Alice in Chains camp lately, guitarist Jerry Cantrell has certainly been keeping busy: last year, he announced that he was working on his first new solo album since 2002’s Degradation Trip, and then earlier this month, he was spotted in the studio with The Dillinger Escape Plan’s Greg Puciato.
