Eddie Vedder-Music For The Motion Picture Into The Wild

Pearl Jam swnger goes solo for soundtrack. Who better to provide the musical backdrop to the true story of а young man disappearing into the wilderness and his subsequent doom than the husky, forlornsounding Eddie Vedder? Collaborating with his friend and the film's director, Sean Penn, Vedder has put together а collection of folk songs built on acoustic guitar and banjo that showcase his tremulous baritone. Не does а grand job of colouring in the grey Alaskan skies and captures the loneliness of Christopher McCandless's freefall from society to freedom in the wilderness and down towards his ultimate fate. Lyrically, he may occasionally jar but it's hard not to be uplifted when he lets rip on the opener setting Forth or when he and 5leater-Kinney's Corin Tucker chime on Hard Sun.
