Whoa! A New Pearl Jam Song. (It’s a Cover, But Still…)
Pearl Jam, never afraid of covering someone else’s song (cf. “Last Kiss,” “Crazy Mary,” any number of Who songs), are part of a collection called Cover Stories: Brandi Carlile Celebrates 10 Years of The Story – An Album to Benefit War Child, which is due May 5. Their contribution is “Again Today.”
