Eddie Vedder has released a studio version of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ song, “Room at the Top”, which originally appeared on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ 1999 album, Echo.

Members of Vedder’s solo band The Earthlings joined him for the cover of Room At The Top, including bassist Chris Chaney, guitarists Josh Klinghoffer and Andrew Watt, and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith. In addition, frequent collaborator Glen Hansard played acoustic guitar and added backing vocals, and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ keyboardist Benmont Tench joined on organ.

Vedder’s cover of Room At The Top (which he has been covering live for years) appears on the soundtrack to the upcoming Apple TV+ series Bad Monkey, starring Vince Vaughn and set to premiere on Aug. 14. Vedder also previously performed “Room at the Top” during the ‘in memoriam’ segment of the 2018 Oscars.

The soundtrack to Bad Monkey is due out on Oct. 4, and consists mainly of Petty covers, including Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit covering “You’re Gonna Get It,” Marcus King’s take on “The Waiting,” and Larkin Poe’s version of “Runnin’ Down a Dream,” as well as contributions from Weezer, Nathaniel Rateliff and Fitz and the Tantrums.
