'The Song Album' Garners Thousands of Downloads After Movie Release: Features The Byrds’ No. 1 Hit 'Turn! Turn! Turn' [MUSIC]

The Song Album

Fans of the new movie and romantic drama 'The Song' showed their support for the release of the film's soundtrack through an exclusive Noisetrade promotion that received over thousands of downloads.

About 7,000 downloads were accounted for on the release day of the anticipated soundtrack, The Song Album. On Friday, Samuel Goldwyn Films and City On a Hill Studios released the Americana Music-driven drama in theaters nationwide and the critically acclaimed soundtrack can now be found on shelves and digital platforms.

In conjunction with the theatrical release, The Song Album has received praise from critics and fans alike. If you're looking for music to make you think, cry, and feel good, The Song Album certainly provides it all with its staple Americana vibe. Alan Powell really embraces the singer/songwriter genre departing from his pop roots and the vulnerability in his voice really stays true to the raw emotion felt in the film.

The inspiration for the soundtrack and film was derived from the ancient biblical text that inspired The Byrds' No. 1 hit "Turn! Turn! Turn!" The Byrds' Roger McGuinn contributed to a rearrangement of his timeless classic for the soundtrack, which is sung by bluegrass award winning artist Ricky Skaggs and Americana Vocalist of the Year Emmylou Harris.

Additionally, The Song Album features 11 original American Roots songs, also inspired by the life and writings of Solomon, and four classic hits with new musical arrangements.

Celebrated American Roots music artists Marco Giovino, Byron House, Andy Leftwich and Colby Kilby collaborated in performing the original songs, and the stars of the movie Alan Powell and Caitlin Nicol-Thomas provide vocals and additional instrumental accompaniment. Critically acclaimed rock band NEEDTOBREATHE contributed a song to the project rounding out the American Roots sound. See full track listing below.

The film 'The Song' follows aspiring singer-songwriter Jed King (Alan Powell of Anthem Lights) as he struggles to catch a break and escape the long shadow of his father, a country music legend. After reluctantly accepting a gig at a local vineyard harvest festival, Jed is love-struck by the vineyard owner's daughter, Rose (Ali Faulkner), and a romance quickly blooms. Soon after their wedding, Jed writes Rose "The Song," which becomes a breakout hit.

Thrust into a life of stardom and a world of temptation in the form of fellow performer Shelby Bale (Caitlin Nicol-Thomas), Jed's life and marriage begin to fall apart, proving even the wisest of men is a fool for love.
