For a change, the use of a Hollies track in an upcoming movie soundtrack will not predictably involve one of the big hits (and I'm not forgetting "After the Fox"...which, despite combining the talents of the Hollies, Peter Sellers, Burt Bacharach and Jack Bruce, never stood a chance in the shadow of "Bus Stop").

Crowe Finalizes 'Elizabethtown' Soundtrack
By Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.

The full track list has been confirmed for the soundtrack to "Elizabethtown," Cameron Crowe's highly anticipated new film. Due Sept. 13 via RCA, the project features exclusive tracks from Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, and, as previously reported, My Morning Jacket.

Previously released cuts are turned in by Wheat, Ryan Adams, Elton John ("My Father's Gun," which is also used in an extended trailer on the Elizabethtown Web site) and the Hollies, among others.

Another track, "Same in Any Language," was written for the film by Crowe and his wife, Nancy Wilson, who also supplied original music. It is performed here by Atlanta band I Nine, which recently signed to J Records.

Among the artists who have music featured in the film, but not the soundtrack, are Petty, Pinback, Kathleen Edwards and Washington Phillips. A new song by Adams, "Words," was also recorded for the movie.

Members of My Morning Jacket appear in "Elizabethtown" as the band Ruckus, which performs the Lynyrd Syknyrd favorite "Freebird" with disastrous results during one scene.

"Elizabethtown" stars Orlando Bloom as a down-on-his-luck shoe designer who turns over a new page when he returns to his Kentucky hometown for his father's funeral. It will open Oct. 14 in U.S. theaters.

Here is the "Elizabethtown" track list:

"60B (etown theme)," Nancy Wilson
"It'll All Work Out," Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
"My Father's Gun," Elton John
"io (This Time Around)," Helen Stellar
"Come Pick Me Up," Ryan Adams
"Where To Begin," My Morning Jacket
"Long Ride Home," Patty Griffin
"Sugar Blue," Jeff Finlin
"Don't I Hold You," Wheat
"Shut Us Down," Lindsey Buckingham
"Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)," the Hombres
"Hard Times," eastmountainsouth
"Jesus Was a Crossmaker," the Hollies
"Square One," Tom Petty
"Same in Any Language," I Nine

Good God, I'd never have guessed that classic tune would have turned up in a major film soundtrack. Blimey Razz

The choice surprised and delighted me too, James. I have to think someone with a little depth to their musical knowledge was responsible for a selection that goes beyond the greatest hits. I'm guessing Crowe himself...

Oh... what a great choice!
I would have expected something like He Ain't Heavy or LCW but that's a perfect song for a movie!

You could score an entire movie using only Hollies songs they have covered so much ground over the years. Of course it would have to be the right movie...
