This soundtrack 2CD set features 33 newly-recorded cover versions of Bob Dylan songs from and inspired by the film. Artists include Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Sonic Youth, Calexico, Cat Power, Ya La Tengo, Karen O, Mark Lanegan, Willie Nelson and more.
Director Todd Haynes' unconventional Dylan biopic 'I'm Not There' had its worldwide premiere at 2007 Venice Film Festival to great critical acclaim and earned Cate Blanchett a "Best Actress" award.
Just as vivid and wildly-inspiring as the movie itself, this 2-CD soundtrack to 'I'm Not There' premieres 33 newly-recorded interpretations of Bob Dylan songs performed by an eclectic cavalcade of acclaimed and celebrated contemporary musicians, ranging from Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Willie Nelson, Jack Johnson, Calexico, Cat Power, Ya La Tengo, Karen O, Mark Lanegan, and many more.
The 'I'm Not There' collection also includes two versions of the enigmatic title track - a new interpretation performed by Sonic Youth and the original Bob Dylan recording itself, a rare oft-bootlegged outtake from 'The Basement Tapes' sessions which has been previously unavailable on any official release. In addition, many of the album's performances even include backing from the Million Dollar Bashers, an ensemble created just for the I'm Not There Original Soundtrack by Sonic Youth guitarist Lee Ranaldo while other tracks on the album feature the amazing alternative-country band Calexico backing up artists Jim James, Iron & Wine, Roger McGuinn, and Willie Nelson.
