Stream The 'Inside Llewyn Davis' Soundtrack
T Bone Burnett has worked with Joel and Ethan Coen on the musical component to the brothers' films a few times, starting as a "musical archivist" for The Big Lebowski, and most notably acting as producer for the O Brother Where Art Thou? soundtrack. That album became a hit in its own right, and there's reason to expect that Burnett's contribution to the Coens' new film, Inside Llewyn Davis, will find a similarly warm reception.
The film is out on December 6, but you can listen to the soundtrack now. I'd understand wanting to wait to hear the music until the film opens, especially for the songs performed by star Oscar Isaac, but in reality the record stands on its own. There's a mix of folk songs and traditional tunes here, and it's a lovely set of tunes.
