Stepping into the boots of one of music's most iconic figures,
Joaquin Phoenix
delivers a collection of
Johnny Cash
's most memorable songs on this
GRAMMY
®
Award-winning soundtrack
. Rather than sourcing
Cash

Director James Mangold
took a fresh approach to the soundtrack, appointing legendary producer
T Bone Burnett
(
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Elvis Costello, John Mellencamp) to navigate
Phoenix
and his fellow cast members through new recordings of classic country and rockabilly tunes.
Phoenix
's performance captures the same rawness and power that made The Man in Black an undeniable force, while
Reese Witherspoon
brings the songs of
June Carter
alive. With the addition of classic country and rockabilly covers by
Tyler Hilton
,
Johnathan Rice
,
Shooter Jennings
and
Waylon Payne
,
Walk The Line
's original soundtrack recording serves as a lively tribute to some of American music's most legendary figures.

#1 on the
Billboard
