Eddie and Pearl Jam have always championed legendary (and underappreciated) L.A. punk rock band X. Here, Eddie and the Supersuckers cover X’s “Poor Girl” for this benefit album, which raised funds for the legal defense of the “West Memphis Three,” three men who, while teenagers in 1994, were tried and convicted of the 1993 murders of three boys in West Memphis. The three were later set free – it’s a complicated story and you can learn more about them by checking out the documentaries ‘Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills,’ ‘Paradise Lost 2: Revelations,’ and ‘Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory.’
