"'Elizabethtown' is probably even more of a musical than 'Almost Famous.' The music is as important as any of the characters--it's the movie's inner voice, a friendly guide and a secret muse."--CAMERON CROWE Acclaimed writer-director Cameron Crowe hand-picked the songs for the "Elizabethtown" soundtrack, which features trailblazing young artists like My Morning Jacket and Ryan Adams as well as Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Elton John and Tom Petty, to name a few. Crowe set out to achieve a true synthesis of sound and vision with the "Elizabethtown" soundtrack and the result plays like a dream road trip. "Hopefully," Crowe enthuses, "like some of my very favorite movies, from 'Harold and Maude' to 'Shampoo' and 'The Royal Tennenbaums,' the music [featured in 'Elizabethtown'] is forever married to the images and the people we come to know so well in those two wondrous hours spent watching in the dark." A love letter to the resilience of the life force, "Elizabethtown" is a story of an unexpected romance that develops against the backdrop of a Kentucky patriarch's hilariously elaborate memorial. The film stars Orlando Bloom, Kirsten Dunst, Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin, Judy Greer, Bruce McGill, Jessica Biel, and Paul Schneider.
