It does have an Eddie Vedder-ish quality to it.

He's singing through his nose and with a closed throat.

But, you know, he grew up listening to the same music we listen to.

yeah alternative stuff along with some country I mean it's kind of got like a little Willie Nelson in there too Bruce Springsteen is one that comes to mind but then now he's covered Smashing Pumpkins he's covered I think he did an Alice in Chains song I think he did uh another one he's covering a lot of the songs that we grew up with that you can tell I think he does I think if you asked him to he could cover a Pearl Jam song pretty well

But he's not going to do that because he also knows that his voice resembles Eddie Vedder, and he doesn't want to come across as a parody.

But mark my words, Stephen Wilson Jr.

will do a Pearl Jam cover at some time in the near future, and we're all going to be blown the fuck away.

Because also, the way that he's using his voice is unlike Eddie Vedder's.

He's just got a tone to it that, it's just different.

It's different.

Anyway, Stephen Wilson Jr.

is a revelation to me.

I haven't liked music this much in a long time.

And it just hits me in the Google spot.

The rest of the world's catching on.

CMA's got him first.

But, you know, it won't be long before he is everywhere.

His tickets are hard to get.

They are very expensive.

He came to Athens, sold out the Georgia Theater.
