Brandon Discusses "I Am No Guide" on WCHL in Chapel Hill


 Brandon took a few minutes to sit down with Aaron Keck at 97.9 The Hill WCHL to discuss our book, I Am No Guide: Pearl Jam Song-By-Song.  He discusses discovering the band and following them through a lifetime as their music changes to reach all generations of fans.

Check out the interview here.
This week, Aaron welcomes Chapel Hill’s Brandon Rector, who’s just co-authored a book that takes a deep dive into Pearl Jam. “I Am No Guide – Pearl Jam: Song By Song” discusses and analyzes every song in Pearl Jam’s legendary oeuvre, from their iconic debut “Ten” to their latest album, 2024’s “Dark Matter.”

Along the way, the book explores the band’s politics, running threads, humanistic themes, and personal journeys – and spotlights some of their best live performances as well, many of which Rector has been present for.
