Published in celebration of Pearl Jamโs twentieth anniversary and in conjunction with Cameron Croweโs definitive documentary film and soundtrack of the same name, PEARL JAM TWENTY is an aesthetically stunning and definitive chronicle of their two decades as a bandโby the band itself. In 1991, Pearl Jamโs debut album, Ten catapulted the little-known Seattle-based band into superstardom. Then, at the height of their popularity, the band shunned the spotlight, refusing to shoot videos or do interviews. Even as Pearl Jamโs studio albums continued to be critically acclaimed and commercially successful, selling over 60 million albums worldwide, the inner workings of the bandโtheir day-to-day routines, influences, and motivationsโremained unknown even to their diehard fans. Twenty years later, this is their story. PEARL JAM TWENTY is a treasure trove of behind-the-scenes anecdotes, rare archival memorabilia, and the bandโs personal photos, tour notes, and drawings. Told with wit and insight in the band membersโ own words, and assembled by veteran music writer Jonathan Cohen with Mark Wilkersonโand including a foreword by Cameron Crowe along with original interviews with legends and contemporaries like Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, and Dave Grohlโthis intimate work provides an in-depth look at a group of musicians who through defying convention established themselves as โthe greatest American rock band everโ (USA Today Readersโ Poll 2005)
