'ElizabethTown': Cameron Crowe's Road Trip Radio
8/25/2005

This soundtrack album features previously unreleased songs By Tom Petty, Lindsey Buckingham and My Morning Jacket, plus music By Elton John, Ryan Adams, Patty Griffin and others. "Same in Any Language" will be the first single.

Filmmaker Cameron Crowe's well-known love of setting music to his movies has resulted in a number of unforgettable modern marriages of film and song, from Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" in "Say Anything," to Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" bus singalong at the emotional peak of "Almost Famous." In addition, the Academy Award and Grammy-winning director has always taken special care to create a cohesive soundtrack album that stands on it's own, as evidenced by the platinum or gold-status of "Jerry Maguire," "Say Anything," "Singles," and "Almost Famous." Now, after months of speculation on the musical line-up of his new film, the romantic-drama "Elizabethtown," the official soundtrack release has been set for release on RCA Records on September 13.

Inspired by a road trip through his father's home-state of Kentucky, a place filled with Crowe family roots, he says, "The celebratory mood and story of 'Elizabethtown' arrived quickly, almost fully formed. I hadn't been back there and seen those electric blue-green vistas since my dad's funeral years earlier. Suddenly, I had to get lost in that great state, driving the highways, feeling all those feelings, and out of that grew this modern folk tale about love and loss and failure and inspiration... and of course, music. Before long, "Elizabethtown" felt like more of a musical than even 'Almost Famous,' a movie about music. The music turned out to be as important as any of the characters - it's the inner voice of 'Elizabethtown,' a friendly guide and a secret muse."

For the soundtrack to 'Elizabethtown,' Crowe put together a musical landscape he nicknames the Great American Radio Station. The road trip, a near-mythical American institution, is the motif for the soundtrack CD and a direct reference to the powerful final act of the film, "Elizabethtown," which stars Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst and will be released by Paramount Pictures on October 14th.
