2011 is a big year for Pearl Jam. 20 years along and fans get a documentary, a tour, a festival and a solo album from Eddie Vedder. All four of these things are very exciting and are proof of a band not content to sit on its past successes and grow old and fat. It’s reassuring to see a band like Pearl Jam still thriving in a musical landscape flush with Bieber’s and American Idol’s. continue reading...
