The soundtrack for the new Apple+ series Bad Monkey, starring Vince Vaughn, has a pretty solid lineup.

The soundtrack album, out October 4th, contains 21 Tom Petty covers performed by an all-star lineup including Weezer, Nathaniel Rateliff, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit and Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam.

Eddie Vedder’s cover of Petty’s 1999 #1 single “Room at the Top, is out now and features the Pearl Jam vocalist backed by AC/DC bassist Chris Chaney, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and former RHCP guitarist Josh Klinghoffer.

Vedder had previously performed the song during the In Memoriam segment at the 90th Academy Awards; five months after Tom Petty’s passing.
