Body of War soundtrack

Just a reminder that today is the release date for the soundtrack to the documentary Body of War.

The two-disc set features tracks from legends like Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, John Lennon to some great new acts like Bright Eyes. Tom Morello appears with Rage Against The Machine and The Nightwatchman, while Serj Tankian and Eddie Vedder appear with solo tracks and from their bands (System of a Down, Pearl Jam).

In fact, Vedder’s folksy and powerful track “No More” is the anchor for the entire album, since it was specifically written for the subject of the film Tomas Young. He unveiled the track last April at Jack Johnson’s Kokua Festival in Hawaii and took it with Pearl Jam to Europe and then Lollapalooza. The version that appears on this soundtrack is a live cut with Ben Harper (the studio version can be found on the deluxe edition of the Into The Wild soundtrack).

Proceeds from sales of the soundtrack will benefit Iraq Veterans Against the War.
