Silver Linings Playbook Soundtrack Tracklist

We’re always on the hunt for soundtracks featuring artists we’ve championed since the beginning around here, and Silver Linings Playbook has done just that with a new, previously unreleased Alabama Shakes song making the cut for the film’s new OST. Directed by David O. Russell as his highly anticipated follow-up to The Fighter, the family/relationship drama comes out next month along with a 14-track soundtrack release that features a dozen tunes plucked for the flick and a pair of original score compositions written specifically for Silver Linings Playbook by Danny Elfman.

The track that caught our eye most, however, is “Always Alright.” This one didn’t make it on Alabama Shakes‘ debut LP, Boys & Girls, but has made appearances in the band’s setlists over the past year or so.

The group is in great company, too, with the likes of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash’s “Girl From the North Country” duet, and Les Paul/Mary Ford classic, “My Cherie Amour,” and many other timeless tunes among the tracklist. Emerging UK outfit alt-J landed “Buffalo” for the set — a promising opportunity for a band getting lots of hype beneath the surface in the blogosphere this year.

For a glimpse at the Shakes’ contribution and more Silver Linings Playbook soundtrack details, check out the list below alongside pro-shot footage from the band’s 2012 performance at Boulder, Colorado’s Fox Theatre:
