Album
Candlebox
Candlebox is the self-titled debut album from the Seattle rock band Candlebox, released in July 1993 on Maverick. It sits in the hard rock and alternative rock bag, and it is where the band's story begins, long before the run of records that followed, from Lucy in 1995 through to A Little Longer Goodbye in 2024.
The record is home to "Far Behind", the song the band remain best known for, along with the hit singles "Change", "You" and "Cover Me". It went on to be certified four times platinum in the United States. If you want to hear where Candlebox started, and the songs that put them on the map, this is the place to begin.
