Vinyl Soundtrack Boasts Plenty of Rock'n Roll Talent: See the List Here
With HBO's Vinyl premiering next month, volume 1 of the soundtrack to the rock-infused drama has been revealed. Including original music by Sturgill Simpson, the soundtrack also features tracks by Otis Redding, The Meters, Edgar Winter, Foghat, Ruth Brown, and more.
More original work has been made by the show by The Nasty Bits, a group fronted by Mick Jagger's son James Jagger. In addition to all this, HBO will release a digital EP featuring songs from and inspired by each upcoming Sunday night episode. These will include contributions from Julian Casablancas, Iggy Pop, Charli XCX, the Arcs, Chris Cornel, Trey Songz, Jessie J, Nate Ruess, Royal Blood, Jess Glynne, DJ Cassidy, Alex Newell, and Charlie Wilson.
Chatting with EW, Martin Scorsese says "I own so much vinyl. 78s that I collected and that my uncle had, and 45s and LPs. I think I probably have some very rare 45s that I bought when I was young... I've used a lot of them in my movies. And I love the sound of those 45s.
"I also have a very special record. Eric Clapton sent it to me. 'I found this in my closet and I thought you might like to have it,' he said. It was the gold record for 'Sunshine of Your Love,' framed. I'm not sure if that counts [as a favourite] - it's gold, so can it be vinyl? - and I can't play it, but I certainly treasure it."
Vinyl, Volume 1 will arrive February 12, two days before the show premieres on the 14th. Volume 2 arrives on April 15th, two days before the season 1 finale.
