The soundtrack for Arliss Howard’s directorial debut film Big Bad Love is highlighted by two new songs from Tom Waits and gives great prominence to some of the most vital practitioners of the hard blues of the Mississippi hill country including R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, T-Model Ford, Robert Belfour, Asie Payton and Kenny Brown. The soundtrack also features two contributions from Tom Verlaine—including a new collaboration with the Kronos Quartet—and Steve Earle’s stirring “Goodbye.”
