For Vedder or Worse

Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam may have beaten the proverbial dead horse with the release of the most recent Pearl Jam album but solo work doesn't disappoint.

As a toe tag to my last entry about Kaki King, Eddie Vedder recently scored the music to the modestly successful Into the Wild released this past September. While the film was indeed worth seeing, the soundtrack that consisted exclusively of our grunge rocking friend on every instrument showed that Eddie has not lost his edge. Try Hard Sun on for size and then ease into the rest of it. Or, if you wish, see the film to enjoy the music in its context as the film does not distract from the music, it compliments it, and vice versa.

The song is actually a cover of an Indio song from way back in 1989 but it is a good version regardless.
