View the full track list for the reissue below.
“My Own Prison,” out in 1997, brought together Creed’s origial lineup of Scott Stapp (vocals), Mark Tremonti (guitar), Brian Marshal (bass) and Scott Phillips (drums). The group got together in Tallahassee, Florida, in 1994, and started writing music and performing together while attending Florida State University. During one of the band’s early performances, they impressed local club owner and artist manager Jeff Hanson, who started working with the band. Hanson hooked them up with producer, songwriter and musician John Kurzweg, and they recorded “My Own Prison” in his home. The album was a hit in the local area, and the band went on to sign with Wind-Up Records.
“My Own Prison” was reissued by Wind-Up Records in August 1997, only two months after the band’s self-released version. The album was a massive hit and peaked at No.22 on the Billboard 200 in May 1998. All four singles topped the rock radio charts, including “My Own Prison,” “One,” and “What’s This Life For.” The record was eventually certified 6x platinum.
