Pearl Jam's Frontman Eddie Vedder Makes Ukulele Album

Eddie Vedder frontman of Pearl Jam, has taken off his rock socks for some mellow ukelele sea breezes. The last person I saw play a ukulele was Spongebob Sqaurepants who illustrated it's quiet beautiful whimpers across its tender body.


It's a mouthwatering prospect if the beautiful sparse acoustics of Eddie Vedder's last venture on the soundtrack of Into The Wild is anything to go by.


The album is titled Ukulele Songs, it will have a medley of original songs and covers such as Mama and Papa's Dream a little Dream .


The album is penned to be released on May 30th 2010, the album is said to feature Cat Power and Glen Hansard of Once fame. While Eddie kicks off touring on June 15th. Until then here is The Everly Brother's Sleepless Nights which is also covered on the album.
