November 3 - Yellow Ledbetter

The other half of Temple of the Dog - or the majority of it - was, of course, Pearl Jam, and I have been a fan since I first heard them on Norwegian Radio in 1991, when their debut album, Ten, was released. I think I almost wore Ten out as well (although I still have the original copy I purchased back then).Today's song is not on any of their regular albums - but it did appear on the single for Jeremy from Ten. This is Pearl Jam channeling their inner Jimi Hendrix, as I hear echoes of Little Wing very clearly in the guitar playing. However, I have no clue what Eddie Vedder sings in Yellow Ledbetter without following along to these lyrics...
