Pearl Jam – Dark Matter (CD) artist-mike-gordon Featuring the Muscle Shoals RhythmEddie Vedder, Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament, Mike McCready, and Matt Cameron have been one of rock's most reliably live focused bands for over three decades, and Dark Matter carries that energy into the studio with a directness that longtime fans will recognize immediately.
