Vedder, Sonic Youth, Tweedy Do Dylan For Soundtrack
August 13, 2007, 5:40 PM ET
 

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
A host of rock notables have banded together for the soundtrack to Todd Haynes' Bob Dylan-themed film "I'm Not There," due Oct. 30 via Columbia. More than 30 tracks have been recorded for what is intended to be a double-disc set, including songs from Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Stephen Malkmus, Cat Power, Yo La Tengo, Wilco's Jeff Tweedy and X's John Doe.

"I'm Not There" features six different actors, including Cate Blanchett, Heath Ledger, Richard Gere and Christian Bale, portraying Dylan at various points in his career. The film opens Nov. 21 in U.S. theaters.

A number of tracks feature backing from the Million Dollar Bashers, which was assembled by Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo and also features that band's Steve Shelley on drums, Television guitarist Tom Verlaine, Wilco guitarist Nels Cline, guitarist Smokey Hormel, keyboardist John Medeski and Dylan bassist Tony Garnier.

Among the most intriguing songs are Dylan's own "I'm Not There," a rarity from "The Basement Tapes" era, as well as Sonic Youth's version of the same track. Vedder fronts the Million Dollar Bashers for "All Along the Watchtower," while Malkmus takes the mic with the group on "Ballad of a Thin Man" and "Maggie's Farm." Fellow Matador artist Cat Power covers Dylan's "Stuck Inside of Mobile With Memphis Blues Again," which will not appear on her upcoming covers album, due early next year.

Calexico serves as the backing band on a number of tunes, with artists like My Morning Jacket's Jim James, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Willie Nelson and the Byrds' Roger McGuinn chipping in on vocals.
