Description:
“BOARDWALK EMPIRE® VOLUME 1—MUSIC FROM THE HBO® ORIGINAL SERIES,” is the soundtrack to the critically acclaimed series from Terence Winter, Emmy® Award winning writer of The Sopranos®, and Academy Award® winning director Martin Scorsese (The Departed). “BOARDWALK EMPIRE® VOLUME 1—MUSIC FROM THE HBO® ORIGINAL SERIES” features music from the first season and upcoming second season of the show. The Prohibition-era soundtrack, produced by the series’ music supervisor Randall Poster, is comprised of original music from the 1920s exclusively rerecorded by top contemporary artists such as Regina Spektor, Loudon Wainwright III, Martha Wainwright, Catherine Russell, Nellie McKay and Leon Redbone. With an uninhibited imagination and acute sense of detail both in music and words, Regina Spektor has gone from practicing on an out-of-tune piano in the basement of her local synagogue to hypnotizing small crowds in NYC's lower East Side to selling out venues like New York's Radio City Music Hall worldwide. Spektor’s last studio album "far" (2009) was released to an overwhelming response from both fans and critics. In addition to lending her version of “My Man” to “BOARDWALK EMPIRE® VOLUME 1—MUSIC FROM THE HBO® ORIGINAL SERIES”, Regina is also completing the score for the upcoming musical, “Beauty,” and recording a new album for Sire Records.The show features famous, real-life musical characters from the time period such as vaudeville star Eddie Cantor played by Stephen DeRosa and singer/actress Sophie Tucker played by Hairspray’s Kathy Brier. Each actor/singer contributes to “BOARDWALK EMPIRE® VOLUME 1—MUSIC FROM THE HBO® ORIGINAL SERIES” contemporary versions of the songs made popular by these 1920s musicians. What’s more, current day New York jazz band Vince Giordano and The Nighthawks appear regularly on the series as the house band at Babette’s Nightclub, and the group contributes five modern-day renditions of popular songs from the era.
