Published in celebration of Pearl Jam’s twentieth
anniversary and in conjunction with Cameron Crowe’s
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 band—by the band
itself. In 1991, Pearl Jam’s 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 Jam’s studio albums continued to
be critically acclaimed and commercially successful, selling
over 60 million albums worldwide, the inner workings of the
band—their day-to-day routines, influences, and
motivations—remained 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 band’s
personal photos, tour notes, and drawings. Told with wit and
insight in the band members’ own words, and assembled by
veteran music writer Jonathan Cohen with Mark Wilkerson—and
including a foreword by Cameron Crowe along with original
interviews with legends and contemporaries like Bruce
Springsteen, Neil Young, and Dave Grohl—this intimate work
provides an in-depth look at a group of musicians who
through defying convention established themselves as “the
greatest American rock band ever” (USA Today Readers’ Poll 2005)
