Earlier this month we exclusively reported the soundtrack details of the Norah Jones film, “My Blueberry Nights.”
To recap: directed by acclaimed Hong Kong director Wong Kar-Wai (“In The Mood For Love“), ‘Blueberry Nights’ is a American road trip cum romantic drama, the first English-language film for the Chinese filmmaker and boasts the debut performance of jazzy songstreess Norah Jones.
The soundtrack disc, now official set for a February 5 release on Blue Note, features tracks by Jones, Cat Power, Ry Cooder (who composed the film’s score), Oscar-winning composer Gustavo Santaolalla, Otis Reddings, Cassandra Wilson and Amos Lee.
Chan Marshall, aka Cat Power, even has a small cameo in the film where she makes out with Jude Law (the film also stars Natalie Portman, David Strathairn and Rachel Weisz). Here’s the tracklist again. The Weinstein Company will release the film in theaters February 13.
