Easy Like Sunday Morning Track - Black by Pearl Jam

Today's Easy Like Sunday Morning Track is brought to you by Pearl Jam. This is off of their debut album Ten which is still their best album in my opinion.

This song was originally an instrumental demo titled "E Ballad" written by guitarist Stone Gossard. It was included on a demo tape called Stone Gossard Demos '91 that was circulated in an attempt to find a lead singer for the band. The demo landed in the hands of a San Diego gas station attendant, Eddie Vedder, who recorded lyrics for three of the songs which later became "Alive", "Once", and "Footsteps". The band invited him to Seattle and he wrote lyrics for "Black" on the way.
