“Long Way” by Eddie Vedder

"Long Way" comes from Eddie Vedder's 2022 solo album Earthling, and it arrives with a heavyweight lineup. Andrew Watt produced it and plays bass and piano, Josh Klinghoffer adds guitar, keyboards and piano, Chad Smith handles drums and percussion, and Benmont Tench lays Hammond organ over the top. Vedder plays tenor guitar and sings lead, with his daughter Harper Vedder and Watt on backing vocals.

The four players wrote the music together and Vedder wrote the words. Paul LaMalfa recorded it and Serban Ghenea mixed it, and it rolls with the easy confidence of a man who has nothing left to prove.
