Covers of Tom Petty songs by Eddie Vedder , Weezer , The War On Drugs, Kurt Vile, Larkin Poe and more will appear on the soundtrack album for new Apple TV+ series Bad Monkey, set for release via HighTower Music on October 4.
Vedder's cover of Room At The Top was recorded by an all-star band including Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers keyboardist Benmont Tench, AC/DC bassist Chris Chaney, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, producer Andrew Watt (The Rolling Stones, Ozzy Osbourne, Pearl Jam), singer-songwriter Glen Hansard and Pearl Jam's touring guitarist Josh Klinghoffer (ex-Red Hot Chili Peppers).
Vedder had previously performed a cover of the song at the 2018 Oscars ceremony, staged at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The singer has also covered Petty's I Won't Back Down and Wildflowers in concert over the years.
Listen to the cover of Room At The Top below:
In a new interview with Vulture , the show's music supervisor Tony Von Pervieux reveals that he got approval from Tom Petty's daughter Adria for the project, and that he sent her every cover on the soundtrack, which also features eight selections from the score.
“We would get comments like, ‘We really like this one, great job,’” he says. “Being able to have conversations with Adria and her letting me know she’s a fan of the soundtrack was significant. She said the bands were correctly chosen, they nailed each cover independently, and it felt like it all came together cohesively.”
