Into the Wild is the first solo album from Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder based on his contributions to the soundtrack for the film of the same name. In the film's credits, Michael Brook is actually acknowledged for composing the film's original music (Vedder is primarily responsible for the songs in the film.) Vedder's cover of the song "Hard Sun" (originally written by Gordon Peterson who performed under the name of Indio on the album Big Harvest) features backing vocals by Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney and appears in the film, along with a slew of other folky ballads. Director Sean Penn hand-picked Vedder to provide the music for the film. Vedder collaborates with Jerry Hannan on the song "Society", written by Hannan.
