Legacy Recordings has released a soundtrack album for the documentary The Gift: The Journey of Johnny Cash. The album features the film’s original score composed by Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready (Elvis Presley: The Searcher, Fat Kid Rules the World, Sadie), incorporating interview soundbites with Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash & others. The soundtrack is now available to stream/download on Amazon Music, where you can also check out audio clips. The Gift: The Journey of Johnny Cash is directed by Thom Zimny and explores the artistic victories, the personal tragedies, the struggles with addiction, and the spiritual pursuits that colored Johnny Cash’s life. The movie features archival materials and interviews with family and celebrated collaborators such as Rosanne Cash, Bruce Springsteen, Robert Duvall, and Dwight Yoakam. The documentary premiered at this year’s SXSW Film Festival and received an awards-qualifying theatrical run last month. The movie will be available to stream on November 11 on YouTube.
