12 BAR BLUES Scott Weiland is the debut solo album by Scott Weiland. The album was released on March 31, 1998, through Atlantic Records.
Its sound and style differ greatly from STP‘s previous releases. The design concept of the cover is a homage to the cover design of John Coltrane‘s Blue Train album.
The title name comes from the simple chord progression known as “twelve-bar blues“. Mockingbird Girl was a re-recording of a song Weiland had originally recorded with The Magnificent Bastards for the 1995 Tank Girl soundtrack three years prior.
