Eddie Vedder Mulls Solo Tour, Uses Surfing Metaphors

Is Eddie Vedder planning a solo tour? According to a story in the Los Angeles Times, it’s possible. The Pearl Jam frontman has completed what amounts to his first solo album by way of the soundtrack to the forthcoming Sean Penn film Into the Wild. The possible tour would have Vedder playing much more intimate venues than he’s used to with Pearl Jam. “If you surf fifty-foot waves all the time, you can’t try too many new things, because fifty-foot waves are kind of life and death,” Vedder, an avid surfer, explained. “Playing big shows is like that. So you want to take on some smaller waves to rework or refine what you do, and then take it back to the big surf.” Hard-core Pearl Jam fans need not worry that Vedder entertaining the idea of a solo jaunt signals the end of the band, however. “We’ve been a group for a long time,” the singer said. “And we will continue to be so, I hope, for a really long time.” The official comment from Vedder’s reps is that he has no official plans to tour alone.

I'm listening to his solo project right now,I'm not very impressed.The tracks are extremely short,like 1:30 and 2:15 long,and they just sound like Pearl Jam unplugged.I dunno;maybe it'll grow on me?

Pearl Jam Unplugged...awesome. It's hard to live up to Pearl Jam's standards in his own age. give him a break! What is its theme?

Hard to say.Each track sort of has it's own motif.But they are all very acoustic and short,except for tracks 7 and 11,which are 5-7 minutes long.There's one track that is only 1 minute long.

I need to find that. Does it sound like just an attempt to make new music or is it actually good?
