Rhino Entertainment will release the “Honeydripper” soundtrack on February 5, 2008. I will be having a giveaway later here at Screenhead.

“Honeydipper” soundtrack includes new songs by Keb’ Mo’, Mable John and guitar phenom Gary Clark, Jr., who appears in the film as well. The album also contains a new song by the incomparable Ruth Brown, the last recorded before her death in 2006. Rhino Records will release the soundtrack February 5, which will be available in stores and online at www.rhino.com.

The 15-song soundtrack features Stax Records veteran Mable John (”No Matter How She Done It”) along with legendary artists Memphis Slim (”Bertha May”) and Lil Green (”Why Don’t You Do Right?),” as well as actor Danny Glover performing “Goin’ Down Slow.” The film introduces actor/musician Gary Clark Jr., about whom Texas Music Magazine wrote, “Probably the most talented Texas guitarist since a certain SRV.” The soundtrack showcases his fiery fretwork on “Good Rockin’ Tonight,” “China Doll” and “Blue Light Boogie.”

Go to the “Honeydipper” listening party!
