Eddie Vedder's Breakthrough Solo Project Finds New Life on Vinyl

Online, August 5, 2010 (Newswire.com) - SoundStageDirect, a leading online vinyl lp retailer, announces the release of the "Into the Wild" soundtrack, the companion piece to the popular 2007 Sean Penn-directed film. Marking the solo debut from Eddie Vedder, longtime Pearl Jam frontman, these new imports have been remastered on 180-gram vinyl. Available on vinyl for the first time, this record is a can't-miss for Pearl Jam and rock fans alike.
The "Into the Wild" project developed from earlier coolaborations between Penn and Vedder. After contributing two Beatles' to 1995's "Dead Man Walking," the Holywood icon handpicked the Seattle rocker for his auditory interpretation of the book-turned-film. The result: a softer side, perhaps even more reflective of Vedder. After screening a rough cut of the film, Vedder set out to capture the experiences of young man escaping the trappings of mainstream American society for a solitary exsistence in the as-yet-untamed environs of Alaska. Many of the haunting tarcks reflect Vedder finding another voice outside the confines of Peal Jam. Featuring mainly acoustic numbers that showcase his signature baritone set against only a guitar, the album is a true showcase for an artist stretching his songwriting wings.
While Pearl Jam's storied reputation is well entrenched among rock fans everywhere, Vedder's work on "Into the Wild" shows another side of the rock icon. Available on 180-gram vinyl lp for the first time, don't miss your chance to hear this haunting and inspiring collection of songs as you've never before or for the first time.
