Eddie Vedder is an American musician and singer-songwriter who currently serves as the lead vocalist and one of three guitarists for the American alternative rock band Pearl Jam. Vedder left the Southern California music scene and moved to Seattle, Washington in 1990 to join Pearl Jam where he rose to fame amid the grunge movement of the early 1990s. He is notable for his baritone vocal style, and widely considered a cultural icon of alternative rock. He is also involved in soundtrack work and contributes to albums by other artists. His second album, “Ukulele Songs”, along with a live DVD titled “Water on the Road”, was released on 31 May 2011 in the US and on May 27th in the rest of the world.

Eddie Vedder’s new album “Ukulele Song” is out now and includes sixteen tracks of which some are intermissions between two songs. With an acoustic guitar – or rather an ukulele – only, it seems, Eddie Vedder leads you through his album. Slow and touchy he sings to you and touches your heart and soul. The album is very romantic and pure. Eddie Vedder created a master piece with his voice and ukulele only, he doesn’t need fancy editing in his music to keep it in your mind for long. Eddie Vedder’s new album is simply amazing. A must have for everyone who loves good acoustic tunes and great music. Simply brilliant.
