(Monkeywrench/Universal-Island)
Given Pearl Jam's longstanding refusal to play by music industry rules, March's announcement that frontman Eddie Vedder had recorded a solo album backed only by ukulele was unlikely to have raised many eyebrows. Comprising songs Vedder wrote a decade ago but never released, plus a reworking of Pearl Jam's "Can't Keep" and a handful of covers (most notably an effortless-sounding "Dream a Little Dream"), it's a pleasingly coherent collection, Vedder's baritone nicely offsetting the trebly instrumentation. It's unlikely to appeal to the unconverted, but the likes of "Satellite" and "Longing to Belong" have genuine charm.
