Eric Church Covers 'Rusty Cage' In Tribute To Chris Cornell

(Radio.com) County star Eric Church honored the late Chris Cornell by playing Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage," at his May 19th concert in Washington, D.C. and footage of the tribute has been posted online.

Church's performance of the classic song was inspired by the acclaimed Johnny Cash's version of the track on his 1996 album, American II: Unchained.

Cornell once described the song as a "hillbilly Black Sabbath," which would also be a good descriptor for the sound of Church's fourth studio album, The Outsiders. Watch the fan footage of the performance here.
