BIT COUNTRY - Voted Best Picture, Musical or Comedy at the recent
Golden Globes - " Walk the Line" - From the mid-fifties

'Walk The Line' follows Johnny Cash's meteoric rise to fame, culminating
with his emergence as the 'Man In Black' at his historic concert at
Folsom Prison in 1968. Joaquin Phoenix stars as Johnny Cash and Reese
Witherspoon as June Carter Cash, and both give jaw-dropping performances
both on-screen and on the soundtrack. The soundtrack boasts trademark
Cash gems including 'I Walk The Line', 'Ring of Fire', 'Folsom Prison
Blues', and 'Cry Cry Cry'. Additionally, it also features performances
by notable musicians including country/rock artist Shooter Jennings,
son of legend Waylon Jennings, who portrays his father in the film;
alternative rock and folk artist Jonathan Rice who plays Roy Orbison;
and singer/songwriter Tyler Hilton who plays Elvis Presley. MUST
