Review

Q (Magazine) (p.124) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The circling banjo of 'No Ceiling' and 'The Wolf''s aptly feral howls evoke long days and cold nights in the wilderness..."

Title Note

The chiming, acoustic sound of "Hard Sun," the lead-off single from this collection of solo Eddie Vedder material, might lead fans to wonder where the roaring guitars and grunge-drenched energy of Pearl Jam has gone. Yet the large-scale, anthemic quality of the song, its forceful, three-chord progression, and Vedder's familiar gruff and soaring vocals reveal that the singer hasn't strayed far from home turf.

INTO THE WILD, a soundtrack to the Sean Penn film of the same name, features 11 original tunes from Vedder that largely fit the mold of "Hard Sun." The songs are acoustic, wistful, earnest and open-hearted, yet boast arrangements and a production style that favors a grand sonic sweep over intimacy, the sound of unique personal dreams writ large (a perfect fit with the film's story, which concerns a young man's hitch-hiking odyssey). Sleater-Kinney's Corin Tucker and blues harmonica veteran Charlie Musselwhite join Vedder in creating the cinematic atmosphere, but its Vedder's voice that carries the show. Pearl Jam fans will find this release a surprising, but satisfying, change of pace.

Editorial Reviews

TOWER.COM REVIEW

Eddie Vedder – Into The Wild Soundtrack

Eddie Vedder comes away from his vast existence as the baritone grill for the Pearl Jam smile, long enough to create the folk musical splash for Sean Penn’s picture perfect film Into the Wild”.

In 1991 Vedder released “Ten” and turned 27 years old, while not too far away Christopher McCandless, a confused youth in search for clarity and understanding, took to the road for answers. Seventeen years later Sean Penn brings McCandless’ story to the silver screen along with Vedder’s solo folk soundtrack.

There’s a sense of contemplation on the Into the Wild Soundtrack that lends to the road warrior philosopher image conveyed in the film. The tracks are contagiously thought provoking, however unobtrusive, maintaining the ability to provide perfectly for a thinker’s film. If you were looking for the opportunity to witness good ol’Ed a little more concentrated, then this release will do the trick as the grunger calmly walks, Into the Wild.

Favorite: “Long Nights”, “Setting Forth”, “The Wolf”

I bought this after seeing the film starring Sean Penn, but did not know what to expect from an entire album from Eddie Vedder. Fortunately I was surprised by the outcome. Almost entirely acoustic mixed with a more cinematic cross reference... well worth the listen and support.
