New York, NY, October 14, 2010 --(PR.com)-- “How Weed Won The West” takes its message to the music by releasing an eclectic soundtrack CD with Sunset Records for the film that is opening in theaters this month.
Award Winning Film Documentarian Kevin Booth also makes his solo music career debut as a participant on the Sunset Records film’s soundtrack featuring an all-star various artist title compilation CD, very naturally, and the filmmaker opens and closes the soundtrack CD with his songs. His electronic ballad “Baby Kush” stars as the album’s opening track with the album telling a story through to the closer “Drug War 2,” a Kevin Booth collaboration with Nick Knoc, with twelve (12) songs made up of rock, hip-hop, reggae, quirky, rap and electronic tunes on the compilation Soundtrack CD. (Kevin) Booth isn’t the only eclectic artist that makes a contribution to the soundtrack, 3 All Mighty, Panjoma offer up quintessential mood driven songs also from the film with “Dangerous Dragon Fly,” and ”Reel” accordingly, while Travis Warren adds a blast of Southern down home rock n roll rock to the album with “I-40 Blues.”
More highlights on the CD are rap and hip-hop driven with topical songs, and quintessential partying tunes, from Los Marijuanos (recently signed to Sunset Urban Records) with their hit song, “Summertime,” along with Sunset Urban Recording act, Mista Latex with his “Let It Burn” song and Philadelphia native, Neele Scar with the song that also dawns the name of the film, “Weed Won The West,” are the perfect blend of raucous, melodic hip-hop / rap tunes that do tell this story and send its’ messages, on this full length Soundtrack CD. The Ronnell Sessions neo-soul rendition of “N-Day” effortlessly seeps in its Spanish influences, while at the same time, the quirky, pop artist, Norman A. Norman brings his “The Vapo Song (Vapo Vapo Vapo) song to the CD, while the roots reggae legend, I Kong (Tropical Records) adds his reggae style to the Soundtrack, with the inclusion of his popular world music song, “A Soldier Went To War.”
“The soundtrack is not only a favorite of mine,” says Don Lichterman, the head of Sunset Records, “it also tells a story just like the film would tell its story.” (Don) Lichterman goes on to say “The songs on the soundtrack are all dramatic in their own way,” and “the CD is not only fun, I also want people to be able to leave the CD on at parties without having to change it. Plus, every song sends a message related to the documentary film made by Kevin (Booth).”
All in all, the How Weed Won The West soundtrack CD is compiled very well while having songs on it, to be able to send a message related to the subject matter in the documentary film (in theatres this month). Sunset put this soundtrack together and compiled the artists on the CD in a very eclectic way. This compilation Soundtrack CD is for all music fans that like any genre and all style of music.
If You Invite Me to Come Up
Dream pop, electronica, singer songwriter, world music, indie pop
The track’s dream pop aesthetic splits the difference between Taylor Swift’s balmy pop and Grimes’ artful electronic leanings. The production melds organic piano pop with bubbly EDM touches. Soaring vocal hook refrain, lending the song instant familiarity. Beneath the song’s stately presentation, is an invigorating and finely crafted modern pop song that recalls Bonnie McKee, Imogen Heap, and Beth Orton, with Brazilian music melodic phrasing influence. The song’s narrative is one of a fiery and new relationship taking that big next step. It’s sensual, but also exudes a sweet innocence. Melina’s vocals float blissfully over infectious hook, and the verses exude a pristine melodic sensibility with hints of pent-up excitement and sass. - *by Lorne Behrman.*Unreleased song
