In the summer of 1990, Eddie Vedder left the surf and sun in San Diego to join a group of friends working to put a new band together in the Seattle underground. Within months, they were anything but underground; they’d found their lead singer, and Vedder went on to lead Pearl Jam on a global takeover of ‘90s culture. In this latest edition of Audible’s Words + Music series, Vedder dives deep, reflecting on a life at the intersection of art, sensitivity, and masculinity.

One of the best-selling artists of all time, Vedder is characteristically honest about the challenges of remaining authentic in the face of staggering success. He delivers a raw, emotional story on the perils and joys of fame and friendship, passing on the option of dishing out tales of rock and roll hijinks. Now you can hear his take on the power of accountability and what it takes to keep the creative flame burning as a father.

Vedder's highly anticipated new album Earthling will be available on February 11 via Seattle Surf/Republic Records.

It felt good to hear, in Eddie's own words and voice a few glimpses into his life. Though there was understandably not a lot of intimate personal sharing (the world eats enough of the famous), I thought it brave that he spoke of the Roskilde concert, and the Ticketmaster- power- monger s---ts, and sent him another thousand blessings for taking on such a noble cause, even when the outcome was so disappointing. Did everyone thank them for that? I hope so.

Thanks to Eddie Vetter for sharing

This is a great addition to the Audible Originals + Music collection. Eddie Vedder, popular for his work as an artist in Pearl Jam, talks about his early days in the band, struggles with work + life balance, and how he tries to continue being authentic even after he's risen to such fame. Vedder intersperses stories and reflections on his life with performances of songs he's written. At just over 1 hr 20 min, this is a pleasant listen, not the least of which because Vedder has such a nice voice to listen to <3

You do not need to be a die hard Pearl Jam fan to enjoy this; I had heard of Pearl Jam before but I don't own their albums, so I listened to some YouTube albums of theirs to re-familiarize myself with their work prior to starting this, and that really added to my appreciation of Vedder's career.

Great Pearl Jam Words+Music

...that Eddie Vedder was so shy? Expect stream of consciousness with the briefest of glimpses into his personal history and creative process. Don't blink or you'll miss it. Also, beautiful compositions, a lot of heart, and the gratifying knowledge that he didn't have to go all "mad scientist" to be creative-while-parent.

As a lifelong Pearl Jam fan, this review could be considered biased. However, to hear Eddie in his words explain the meaning behind some of his art, well it is priceless.

I have long been a fan of Mr. Vedder. He is humble and thoughtful in his choice of words. I think surfing one tests themself against forces greater than oneself each day- I can hear the mindfulness in his words and his creations. He is very inspiring and thought provoking- not only about his work but the work of others. I really relate to locking myself away- and having to manage the forces of creativity with a very practical real world. I saw an interview with him and Sean Penn about Into The Wild, and the idea of translating in an almost shamanic experience appeals to me. I think he is a shaman…

Long time fan

I loved hearing Eddie’s account of the stories behind the songs equally as much as hearing him sing. I could have listened to him all day!

Wish it was longer.

The voice. The words. The stories. The songs. I loved it all and will listen to this repeatedly. Here's to 30 more years....!

Need more. I hung on every word.

I love hearing the stories of how Eddie Vedder came about with a soon to be band of Pearl Jam. All of these guys, who simply love to make music, are some of the most humble people you read about.

Could listen to this one over and over again.

I mean, it’s Eddie Vedder….
