Pearl Jam To Release New Album and Book

Simon & Schuster will release the book, also called Pearl Jam Twenty, with a foreword penned by Crowe. The book itself will be written and compiled by rock journalists Jonathan Cohen and Mark Wilkerson.

The film, soundtrack, and book celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pearl Jam. The band has also scheduled a Labor Day weekend "concert celebration" called PJ20 Weekend in East Troy, Wisconsin, at Alpine Valley Music Theatre. The Strokes, Queens of the Stone Age, Mudhoney, and others will all be on hand to help Pearl Jam celebrate its platinum anniversary.
