Covering Link Wray and Lou Reed with Nick Cave & Friends = definitely looking forward to this one!

Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, and director John Hillcoat have a flawless track record collaborating on music for film so far, but for their latest project, Lawless, Cave and Co. may have outdone themselves. Where The Road and The Proposition leaned heavily on moody, Cave/Ellis-penned instrumentals, the music of Lawless is rife with guest performers and inspired cover song choices. With a story set during the United States’ prohibition era (1919 – 1933), the soundtrack’s core group of performers – Cave, Ellis, Martyn Casey, George Vjestica and David Sard – were dubbed a perfectly appropriate name: The Bootleggers. Joining them are Mark Lanegan, bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley, the Duke Spirit’s Leila Moss, Emmylou Harris, and more. Hearing Stanley’s take on Velvet Underground’s “White Light/White Heat” alone would be worth cost of admission, but other covers of note abound here: the Bootleggers, Moss, and Harris doing “So You’ll Aim Toward the Sky” by Grandaddy, Townes Van Zandt’s “The Snake Song,” and Lanegan joining in for Link Wray’s “Fire and Brimstone.” What’s more, Willie Nelson and Blake Mills each contributed a cut.
Upon further inspection of the tracklist and guest stars (via Cannes/Playlist), it seems a darker vision of T Bone Burnett’s O Brother, Where Art Thou? might be in the works. We’ll find out in August, but for now, check out the trailer here and full rundown of songs appearing in the film below:
