'Brokeback Mountain' Soundtrack & Book Info

The soundtrack and new edition of the short story will hit stores in November.

The hardcover cover is on the right. The paperback edition is just the movie poster. There will also eventually be an audio CD available. To order any of these, go here. They'll set you back about $10 a pop. This new release is 64 pages. Annie Proulx's original short story Brokeback Mountain was about 30 pages in the book Close Range: Wyoming Stories. I'm not sure if the other 30ish pages are another short story or are a novelization of the expanded aspects that Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana contributed in their screenplay adaptation.

The soundtrack - featuring Gustavo Santaolalla's score - includes:

Opening - Gustavo Santaolalla
He Was A Friend Of Mine - Willie Nelson
Brokeback Mountain # 1 - Gustavo Santaolalla
I Will Never Let You Go - Jackie Green
A Love That Will Never Grow Old - Emmylou Harris
Snow - Gustavo Santaolalla
Devil's Right Hand - Steve Earle
No One's Gonna Love You Like Me - Mary McBride
Brokeback Mountain # 2 - Gustavo Santaolalla
King Of The Road - Teddy Thompson/Rufus Wainwright
Riding Horses - Gustavo Santaolalla
I Don't Want You To Say Goodbye - Teddy Thompson
An Angel Went Up In Flames - Gustavo Santaolalla
It's So Easy - Linda Ronstadt
Brokeback Mountain # 3 - Gustavo Santaolalla
Maker Makes - Rufus Wainwright
The Wings - Gustavo Santaolalla

Several of these are originals so Oscar voters should have a variety to choose from. The notable exception is Rufus Wainwright's Maker Makes which should be the frontrunner for Original Song. However, due to the track's placement in the film at the very end of the credits, it is not eligible. So unless the song was briefly heard earlier in the film, it looks like Rufus won't be getting an Oscar this year. The music branch of the Academy has the dumbest. fucking. rules. ever.

You can order the soundtrack here. It will be released November 1st.
