Here's another one - are there words to Release? (Last track on Ten).
Well, fair play to them as Eddie did kinda have to make this up on the spot (at least according to McCready). Guess he's still trying to work out the final version.
Still, I love the whole 'Ten' album - takes me to a very specific time and place.
Hmm - lemon yellow sun... sounds like a name for my next Saison.
It doesn't matter.

Who cares?!?!
I LOVE Eddie Vedder. I love that he stood up to Ticketmaster before he was a big "star", and I love that he sang a song by Eagles of Death Metal today to send his message about the Paris attacks.
I don't care if he mumbles a bit- he's a songwriter I identify with and he's hot besides.
Ok, but I have to admit I don't quite "get" Yellow Ledbetter. But I would so go out on the porch with Eddie Vedder, if he'd let me!
Song kicks ass. I think he was drunk off his ass on red wine when he first recorded the song.
And "Pools of Maroon" for a red ale.
"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be the sun
in somebody else's sky
but why, but why
can't it be, can't it be
mine"
Been listening to Ten tonight.

Here's a very similar song from a young Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Much debate over why they are so similar, but I don't believe there was any conspiracy. I love both Pearl Jam and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Eddie's lyric-less vocals would go nicely on this tune as well
It's a pretty common blues chord progression. SRV sound IMO. Some Hendrix feel in there too. Have you heard Jimi's blues stuff? He isn't really known for that, but I had his blues album once and he was a wonderful blues player. I ain't even a blues fan.
I really liked that blues album, though I can't remember why I picked it up, originally. I bet I still have it rattling around somewhere.
But then Vedder can excel when covering "Love, Reign O'er Me."
So he put's in full effort with a clone and half asses his own recipes.
