March 10 sees Paul Weller release his first ever soundtrack, to the forthcoming British movie Jawbone. The film's star (and writer/co-producer) Johnny Harris approached Paul a few years ago through a mutual friend, on the off-chance that he might be interested. At that point, all that existed was a script - no cast and no budget - but Weller was keen almost immediately and a great partnership (and friendship) was forged.
Jawbone: Music From The Film is a collection quite unlike anything else in Weller's extensive discography, as you can hear on the sprawling 21-minute opener Jimmy/Blackout, an experimental sound collage which provides much of the film's score and underlying mood.
Tracklist:
1. Jimmy / Blackout
2. The Ballad Of Jimmy McCabe
3. Jawbone
4. Bottle
5. Jawbone Training
6. Man On Fire
7. End Fight Sequence
