WHO *IS* WILLIAM DUVALL (ALICE IN CHAINS' SINGER)?

When Alice In Chains reactivated with new singer William DuVall, I was a bit familiar with him: he had actually played rhythm guitar in Jerry Cantrell's solo band. When they performed Alice songs, it was pretty intsense, so when I heard he was actually joining AIC, it kind of made sense.  What I didn't know was his history. He used to be in an underground punk band called Neon Christ. And he co-wrote the '90s-era hit "I Know" for former Arrested Development singer Dionne Farris (Alice and AD toured together on Lollapalooza '93, by the way). Read an interesting piece about DuVall at Atlanta's Creative Loafing.
