Pearl Jam has unveiled the track list for the upcoming release "The Molo Sessions," which features frontman Eddie Vedder in collaboration with the Walmer High School choir of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. In addition to versions of Pearl Jam's "Long Road," "Love Boat Captain" and "Better Man," the set features 11 performances by the choir, including the South African national anthem, taped at Seattle's Studio Litho.

As previously reported, "The Molo Sessions" will be available exclusively from Pearl Jam's official Web site. A live version of "Better Man" featuring the choir is earmarked for the band's annual holiday single for members of its Ten Club fan organization.

"They were a pure embodiment of the power of music," Vedder says of the choir. "This music got them through Apartheid, and it empowered them to travel abroad and share it. These kids respect the music for the opportunities it has given them. When they sang, it inspired everyone who came into contact with them. The transcendent melodies they invented for 'Better Man' and the like was a mind-blow."

Here is the track list for 'The Molo Sessions':

"Long Road"
"Love Boat Captain"
"Mandela Siyakuthanda"
"Emarabini"
"Theledi"
"Nombayi"
"Ootsotsi Base Benoni"
"Better Man"
"Iyelele"
"Sana Iwami"
"Nora"
"Jabula Ntliziyo Yam"
"Izintombi Ezilishumi"
"Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" (South African national anthem)

should be some interesting stuff.
