HONEYDRIPPER is a new indie flick about the roots of rock n' roll -- namely, the blues of the 1950's deep South. And as you could probably guess, the soundtrack is the best part. It's packed with blues staples like Mable John and Keb Mo', and introduces an amazing new guitar talent in Gary Clark Jr. The film is still in extremely limited release (like '30 theaters in the entire country' limited). So chances are you might have to wait a bit for it to come to your local art house. (If it comes at all. Sorry, Burnsville, WV. Life's hard.) But let us make it up you. While you're pining away in your room waiting for your release date to come, you can check out the entire soundtrack via the exclusive Rhino Records listening party. Links are here, here and here. So no more tears.
