Pearl Jam - Under The Covers (2024)

THE SONGS THEY DIDN T WRITE As comfortable performing cover versions as they are playing their top-drawer, self-composed numbers, the perfect beast that is Pearl Jam are huge fans of all types of contemporary music, and unusually for a rock band, their musical heroes, equally, appear to be huge fans of the mighty PJ. This CD houses an extraordinary collection of various live cuts by Pearl Jam, all of which are renditions of songs that the group didn t write, but which are delivered with the same passion and energy as any of their homegrown tunes. Displaying a wildly eclectic taste in music, proving, if such were necessary, the enormous knowledge and love of music past and present which has forever been a huge contributing factor to this awesome group s enormous appeal, this compilation of covers says as much about this seminal group as any of their standard albums.
