Ok, so it’s not actually called the Box of Cox like the filmmakers hoped, but as promised, Walk Hard: The Deluxe Edition (Motion Picture Soundtrack), is out on Itunes and features 15 songs not included on the original soundtrack. That’s 30 in total (What happened to the other 10? You’ll remember the soundtrack producer Michael Andrews and co. recorded over 40 tracks).
The tracklist is all mixed up from the original edition, but the new songs include four new versions of the Marshall Crenshaw-penned “Walk Hard” theme, including a punk version, the Jackson Browne, Jewel, Lyle Lovett, Ghostface Killah version, the disco-y ’70s TV Show theme song version and the very-explicit hip-hop version by Lil’ Nutsack (the filthiest song you have ever heard…and man, it’s really dirty,” said Judd Apatow).
Dewey Cox (John C. Reilly) already covers David Bowie’s “Starman” on the original disc and this bonus edition includes his cover of Paper Lace’s ’70 hit, “Billy Don’t Be A Hero,” which they cheese up to the hilt (another ’70s disco-schmaltz period number).
As reported yesterday, Dewey Cox is going out on tour. You can try and RSVP to the brief, seven jaunt tour if they’re not already sold out.
