Listen to the Andrew Watt-produced track "Room at the Top" below, featuring singer Eddie Vedder, recorded with all-star band members Benmont Tench -- keyboardist for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers -- bassist Chris Chaney of AC/DC, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, singer-songwriter Glen Hansard, and Pearl Jam touring guitarist Josh Klinghoffer.
The show's music supervisor, Tony Von Pervieux, recently told Vulture that he received approval from late rocker Tom Petty's daughter, Adria, for each separate cover included in the project. “We would get comments like, ‘We really like this one, great job,’” he explained of the process. “Being able to have conversations with Adria and her letting me know she’s a fan of the soundtrack was significant. She said the bands were correctly chosen, they nailed each cover independently, and it felt like it all came together cohesively.”
Fans can scroll through the official 29-song tracklisting below, which also includes contributions from Weezer, Sharon Van Etten, The War On Drugs, Fitz and the Tantrums, Nathaniel Rateliff, Kurt Vile, Larkin Poe, and more. Watch Bad Monkey now on AppleTV+.
