Putting Arthur Russel's name into Last.fm's 'similar artists radio' thing results in loads of grat tunes, try it.

Yeh, its country-pop-tastic. If I hadn't seen the film it wouldn't have made any sense whatsoever. Only listened over it a couple of times but its very enjoyable. Mostly acoustic guitar based pop songs with that delightful voice.

I recommend.

cheers for the mix
