MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS stars Nora Jones, who plays a lead role and contributes "Story," a new song, to the soundtrack. The film takes the form of a road movie set along Route 66, so it's no accident that alongside Jones's sultry, smoky jazz composition are classic R&B tracks from the likes of Otis Redding, Ruth Brown, and Mavis Staples, and new-school soul from Cassandra Wilson and Cat Power. Ry Cooder contributes original, atmospheric pieces to the score. |
