Pearl Jam hitting the studio for new '09 album

Pearl Jam is set to start recording tracks for their '09 album and without record label backing. According to RollingStone.com, Pearl Jam's self-release album is set to hit shelves sometime in the fall. The new album may have a more optimistic feel with short powerful rock songs. Producing the album is Brendan O'Brien who also produced Pearl Jam's 1998 album "Yield". This could be a big year for the band as not only are they releasing the new album, but they are also re-releasing "Ten" as I mentioned in a previous post.

Ten - Reissue

If you haven't heard already, Pearl Jam will be reissuing their debut album "Ten" this year. Not only will it be remastered and remixed, but it will also include demos of "Alive" and "Once". There will be four editions, which will all be released on March 24. A Super Delux Edition will feature a DVD of their Unplugged session, as well as four vinyl LPs. The LPs will consist of the original "Ten", a remixed "Ten", and two LP live set from their 1992 concert "Drop in the Park". The reissue is part of a buildup to the band's 20th Anniversary in 2011. Here is the official press release.
