Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan's I'm Not There (Bend)

The Soundtrack features songs from and inspired by one of the year's most wildly-anticipated films, "I'm Not There". The collection premieres new interpretations of Bob Dylan songs performed by an eclectic cavalcade of acclaimed and celebrated contemporary musicians.

"I'm Not There" includes two versions of the enigmatic title track, a new interpretation performed by Sonic Youth and the original Bob Dylan recording, a rare oft-bootlegged outtake from "The Basement Tapes" sessions which has been previously unavailable on any official release.

Many of the albums' performances include backing from the Million Dollar Bashers, an ensemble created for I'm Not There by Sonic Youth guitarist Lee Ranaldo, featuring Sonic Youth drummer, Steve Shelley, Television guitarist Tom Verlaine, Wilco bassist Nels Cline, guitarist Smokey Hormel, keyboardist John Medeski and long-time Bob Dylan band bassist Tony Garnier. Eddie Vedder, Stephen Malkmus, and Karen O are among the artists backed by the Million Dollar Bashers. Other tracks on the album feature the alternative country band Calexico backing up artists including Jim James, Iron & Wine, Roger McGuinn and Willie Nelson.

One of the year's most highly-anticipated cinema releases, "I'm Not There" is a meta-biographical film re-imaging the life of Bob Dylan as portrayed by six different actors in six different phases of the artist's life and career. The film is co-written and directed by Todd Haynes, who first radicalized pop music history in film with his controversial short "Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story" in 1987 and later with his surrealist glam-rock feature, "Velvet Goldmine" in 1998.
