Lead vocalist Layne Staley encouraged guitarist Jerry Cantrell to sing lead vocals on the EP. The EP was recorded in four or five days in November 1991. While in the studio, drummer Sean Kinney had a dream about "making an EP called Sap." The band decided "not to mess with fate," and Sap was recorded and mixed in 1991 with producer Rick Parashar at London Bridge Studio. As the guitarist Jerry Cantrell recalled: "So in the session that was meant for recording that one song, we ended up demoing about 10 songs, which included all the stuff that ended up on the Sap EP, ' Rooster' and a couple of others from Dirt.” Background and recording įollowing the tour for Facelift, Alice in Chains entered the studio to record a song for the Cameron Crowe movie Singles, but decided to turn the engagement to their advantage. On January 14, 1994, Sap was certified gold by the RIAA for the sale of more than 500,000 copies. The track " Got Me Wrong" became a hit two years later after being featured on the soundtrack to the 1994 film Clerks. The EP was produced by Alice in Chains and Rick Parashar and features guest vocals by Ann Wilson of the band Heart, Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and Mark Arm of Mudhoney. Sap is mostly acoustic and marks the first time that guitarist Jerry Cantrell sings lead vocals in an Alice in Chains release, with the song "Brother". Sap is the second studio EP by the American rock band Alice in Chains, released on February 4, 1992, through Columbia Records.
