I mean, big choruses, fun rock, just huge solos \u2014 huge solos! It\u2019s incredible. I, actually, two years ago, started teaching myself piano just so I can record this song that I wrote for my wife, and I was able to play it and record it.

We did thirteen originals. We recorded seven covers, and then we did six acoustic versions of the originals that we put together. Or [maybe] it\u2019s five. I can never keep that straight. Maybe it\u2019s six [covers] and six [acoustic versions] \u2014 I can\u2019t remember.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The album is now \u201cfinished\u201d and it contains thirteen originals and twelve covers.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Corey Taylor has announced his debut solo album \u2018CMFT\u2019.
