dec 19, 2012 - WEST OF MEMPHIS VOICES FOR JUSTICE Johnny Depp & Tonto’s Giant Nuts on soundtrack
Description:
The film’s companion soundtrack, called West of Memphis: Voices for Justice, matches its celluloid counterpart in big-name starpower. The 15-track record (16 if you purchase the record digitally) features Natalie Maines (with Ben Harper on slide guitar), Lucinda Williams, Bob Dylan and Citizen Cope. On the local connections front, former Seattleites Band of Horses contribute a live version of “Dumpster World” and Eddie Vedder contributes “Satellite.” On the celebrity front (as if Dylan and Vedder weren’t celebrity enough for the soundtrack), Johnny Depp contributes a few songs playing with a band called Tonto’s Giant Nuts.” I haven’t heard the music but I will say Depp’s contribution is the most hilarious bit of musical cross-promotion for a film I’ve ever seen considering he plays the role of Tonto in the upcoming Lone Ranger movie.Added to timeline:
