Julian Casablancas, Iggy Pop, Charli XCX, the Arcs, More Set for Scorsese/Jagger "Vinyl" Soundtrack

“Vinyl” is a new HBO show about the 1970s New York music scene, which is executive produced by Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger, and Terence Winter (“Boardwalk Empire,” “The Sopranos”). It premieres February 14.

The show’s soundtrack will be released in weekly installments by Atlantic Records and Warner Bros. Records, starting with the full album Vinyl: Music From the HBO Original Series — Volume 1 on February 12. It collects songs from the the series premiere, including tracks by Otis Redding, Sturgill Simpson, Mott the Hoople, and more. Find the tracklist below.

Of particular note: Simpson’s “Sugar Daddy” is an original track, as well as the show’s theme song. David Johansen, the singer of the New York Dolls, re-recorded their classic “Personality Crisis.” There’s also a song by Nasty Bits, a fictional band that appears in the show that’s fronted by Mick Jagger’s son, James Jagger—their track, “Rotten Apple,” was co-written by father and son, as well as Luis Felber and James Dunson. 

Following the release of Volume 1, HBO will release a digital EP every Friday containing music appearing in the upcoming week’s episode (or music that was inspired by music in that week’s episode). Julian Casablancas, Iggy Pop, Charli XCX, the Arcs, Chris Cornell, Trey Songz, Jessie J, Nate Ruess, Royal Blood, Jess Glynne, DJ Cassidy, Alex Newell, and Charlie Wilson are some of the artists who will be featured in those releases. 

That process will climax with Vinyl: Music From the HBO Original Series — Volume 1: Finale, a second full-length soundtrack that will be released on April 15, ahead of the show’s April 17 season finale.
