5.0 out of 5 stars This single is a must for one simple reason- "footsteps", September 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Jeremy / Footsteps / Yellow Ledbetter (Audio CD)

The Jeremy single is a must for any pearl jam fan because of the song "footsteps." It is an acoustic jam where Vedder sings with astounding emotion. There is another plus to this album, "yellow ledbetter." This bluesy song reminds me of a Hendrix tune called "little wing." It has intense emotion and style. This single is a must for die-hard Pearl Jam fans, as well as people who enjoy good music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this for the b-sides!, September 28, 2003

I confess that I bought this single, not for the title song, but for "Yellow Ledbetter." Jeremy is a good song, but there is no reason to review it here, everyone knows Jeremy. "Yellow Ledbetter" is an amazing song. Eddie Vedder is often difficult to understand. He is not known for his clear anunciation, but it is never more apparent than on this track. From the first time I heard this song I was so into the music and wanted to sing along, but I, honest to God, could not comprehend a word. I bought the cd and listened to it over and over again and came up with my own version based on my understanding that makes it very interesting lyrically. It is Eddie Vedder's mumblings that make this song so intriguingly brilliant though. I wouldn't have it any other way.

So, as I confessed, I bought the cd for "Yellow Ledbetter." What I wasn't expecting was "Footsteps" which is equally as amazing and a very pleasant surprise. Great lyrics with just Eddie's blissfully strained vocals and a guitar. It just doesn't get any better than this.

So often, the b-sides of singles are forgettable but in this case, they outshine the single. Even if "Jeremy" is not your favorite PJ song, buy this cd for the other two tracks. It is a definite worthwhile purchase.
