Outside Projects - The World of Pearl Jam
Comment:
If you really want to know what Pearl Jam is all about, you gotta hear them when they're [i]not[/i] Pearl Jam. We open with a deep-end dunk into the Seattle sound, as Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament join Soundgarden's Chris Cornell and P.J. vocalist-to-be Eddie Vedder in Temple of the Dog's "Hunger Strike," a tribute to fallen Mother Love Bone frontman Andrew Wood. Gossard and Ament not only formed the backbone of Mother Love Bone (heard here in the bone-crushing glam-sludge of "Stardog Champion"), but also the core of what many consider the first true grunge band, Green River (which also spawned Mudhoney). Yet [i]another[/i] doomed lead singer, Alice in Chains' Layne Staley, teams with Pearl Jam lead guitarist Mike McCready to strike gold in the short-lived Mad Season, while P.J. rhythm guitarist Stone Gossard goes for an unexpectedly funky, mellow vibe in his long-standing side-project, Brad. But when Eddie Vedder gets his mellow on in "Hard Sun," from the soundtrack to Sean Penn's [i]Into the Wild[/i], it's a lot less funk and a lot more folk. Don't stop there, though, because whether it's with Neil Young or Neil Finn, when the guys in Pearl Jam step outside of Pearl Jam, that's when the jam truly begins.
