Fox Searchlight’s last minute entry into the Oscar race, “Crazy Heart,” has been building quite a bit of steam. Jeff Bridges has been earning accolades for his turn as the grizzled, down-on-his-luck singer while T. Bone Burnett has been getting nods for his score, and Ryan Bingham is pretty much a lock for a Best Song nomination for “The Weary Kind.” While the film has been in limited release since mid-December, starting January 15th, Fox Searchlight will be considerably expanding the film’s playdates in the run-up to the Golden Globes (where Bridges and Bingham are nominated) and Oscars.
New West Records will be releasing the soundtrack online and instores on January 19th and it features a healthy mix of cast performances and classic country cuts. The full tracklist is below:
“Crazy Heart” Soundtrack tracklist
- Hold On You Performed by Jeff Bridges

There will also be a 23-track deluxe edition of the soundtrack available the same day (we’re not sure why labels still do this sort of thing, but we digress). It will feature all the songs above, and will be padded out by more material including tracks by Lucinda Williams, George Jones, Kitty Wells and the Delmore Brothers. For some reason, both versions of the soundtrack put Ryan Bingham’s sure-to-be-nominated song at the very end of the disc.
