Good to see Chris Cornell returning with You Know My Name, from the soundtrack of the new James Bond movie, Casino Royale.

Cornell avoids all the usual Bond theme cliches and delivers a hard-edged rock song.

I suppose it’s in keeping with the new hard-ass Bond, Daniel Craig. Apparently Casino Royale is a much grittier movie than some of the slick Brosnan versions of the last decade. I believe Chris Cornell co-wrote the song with the long time Bond composer, David Arnold.
