After putting the finishing touches on their long-awaited southern gothic, supernatural musical Ghost Brothers of Darkland County,
co-conspirators Stephen King, John Mellencamp and T Bone Burnett have
released the musical's soundtrack. Although Mellancamp is credited with composing the music and lyrics – certainly reasonable cause for concern – It's a shockingly solid collection of non-throwawys concerning fraternal love, lust, jealousy and revenge enhanced by the superb interpretive skills of Neko Case, Elvis Costello, Kris Kristofferson, Rosanne Cash, Dave & Phil Alvin, Ryan Bingham, Sheryl Crow and others. Check it out below.
Ghost Brothers of Darkland County will be available in a variety of formats:
• The 3-disc (2CD/1DVD) Hardcover Edition contains the
musical’s songs (with and without dialog excerpts), specially printed
libretto, liner notes written by noted journalist Alan Light and the

libretto and other bonus material.
