News: Eddie Vedder
Listen To Eddie Vedder’s ‘Ukulele Songs’
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder’s second solo effort is up for listener grabs this morning, a few days prior to its May 31 release.
Thus, the PJ frontman shows his most intimate colors as a romantic balladeer in this 16 track collection, but with a running time of under 35 minutes there’s little danger of drowning in the sap – particularly when Cat Power and Glen Hansard show up to lend a voice late in the album.

Take your musical vitamins and order Ukulele songs here, and check out our review of the album while you’re at it.
I love Ed, but this is the album I was afraid Into The Wild was going to be. Luckily that album is awesome and he saved this for later. 1 or 2 little ukulele jams on a cool album, sure. But no way can i listen to a whole album of this.
Long live Pearl Jam.
Eternal love & respect to EV but it should have a ‘May cause drowsiness’ warning.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease, Eddie, go back to rockin’! I have tons of respect for him, but this is shit. His voice sounds beautiful, but I would rather have a new PJ album.
