Produced by T Bone Burnett and Joel Coen & Ethan Coen with Marcus Mumford as Associate Producer

Nonesuch Records presents the original soundtrack recording to the acclaimed 2013 film Inside Llewyn Davis. Written and directed by Academy Award winners Joel and Ethan Coen, Inside Llewyn Davis follows a week in the life of a young folk singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961. Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) is at a crossroads. Guitar in tow, huddled against the unforgiving New York winter, he is struggling to make it as a musician against seemingly insurmountable obstacles - some of them of his own making.

Living at the mercy of both friends and strangers, scaring up what work he can find, Davis' misadventures take him from the basket houses of the Village to an empty Chicago club - on an odyssey to audition for music mogul Bud Grossman (F. Murray Abraham) - and back again. Brimming with music performed by Oscar Isaac and Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan, as well as Marcus Mumford and Punch Brothers, Inside Llewyn Davis - in the tradition of O Brother, Where Art Thou? - is infused with the transportive sound of another time and place.

T Bone Burnett, Joel Coen and Ethan Coen produced the soundtrack, with Marcus Mumford as associate producer. The album includes 12 new recordings made especially for the film and soundtrack plus an existing recording by Dave Van Ronk. Also featured is a never-before-released version of Bob Dylan performing his song "Farewell," which was recorded during the sessions for his album The Times They Are A-Changin' and is available exclusively on this soundtrack.

"A great film by two American masters, the Coens have taken a real time and place and freely made it their own, drawing on actual persons and events for inspiration, but binding themselves only to their own bountiful imaginations. The result is playful and evocative. There is also the joy of the music itself, exquisitely arranged by T Bone Burnett and sung live on set by the actors themselves. The soundtrack is stupendous." - Variety

"Audiences just heard a clean, hard crack: the Coen brothers hit one out of the park. The musical interludes are stunning." - The Guardian
