The soundtrack details for “When You’re Strange,” the Tom DiCillo-directed documentary about Jim Morrison and the Doors that premiered at Sundance 2009, have finally arrived. In addition to the previously reported live and studio tracks are interview segments and recitations of Morrison’s poetry by Johnny Depp.
The documentary chronicles the rise and demise of the L.A. ’60s acid rockers through its showcase of never-before-seen footage, unreleased tracks and rare interviews. Depp also narrates the film, taking over from director DiCillo’s originally narrated track, which was apparently as dull as drywall.
The soundtrack will hit store shelves on April 6th but is currently available to pre-order from the Rhino Records site. The film hits theaters a few days later on April 9th in limited release, but if you’re at SXSW this week, you can catch the film there as well.
