What I'm listening to


Today, even though there is a variety of great music that has been released recently I find myself drawn to this

The Walk Hard soundtrack.

I absolutely love this movie. It is both hilarious and surprisingly insightful, and you get a great sense of the progression of rock music from it's beginnings to the present day. It's greatest strength would have to be it's soundtrack however, and it's all the more impressive considering that all the tracks are actually performed by John C. Reilly. Just another feather in the cap of this incredibly talented man. The soundtrack is a doozy of a package, the deluxe edition containing over forty tracks. The songs are arranged in chronological order and as a result they progress by genre, which is a natural way to listen to the album. Highlights include but are not limited to:

Walk Hard
Guilty as Charged
Let Me Hold You (Little Man)
Darling

An incredible listen. Highly recommended.

  1. Forty tracks? Yow. I also really loved this film, definitely a 4/5 if not a 5/5. Dewey Cox is cocks. Everything about this film is clever and is the best kind of satire (on a subject that deserves it).
