Single number four from Pearl Jam‘s Dark Matter album is Waiting For Stevie – and yes, it was inspired by Stevie Wonder. He was booked to play some harp on Eddie Vedder‘s Earthling album, and was about seven hours late for the scheduled 4pm session. While Eddie and producer Andrew Watt were wating for him, they started trading riffs, and eventually came up with this one.
Love, Dr. Scott James
