WILD: Original motion picture Soundtrack (CD)

Original soundtrack to the 2014 motion picture featuring music from Simon & Garfunkel, Bruce Springsteen, Wings, Portishead, Lucinda Williams and a new version of R.E.M.’s “Walk Unafraid” by First Aid Kit. In WILD, director Jean-Marc Vallée (Dallas Buyers Club), Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon (Walk The Line), and Academy Award nominated screenwriter Nick Hornby (An Education) bring bestselling author Cheryl Strayed’s extraordinary adventure to the screen. After years of reckless behavior, a heroin addiction, and the destruction of her marriage, Strayed makes a rash decision. Haunted by memories of her mother Bobbi (Academy Award nominee Laura Dern) and with absolutely no experience, she sets out to hike more than a thousand miles on the Pacific Crest Trail all on her own. WILD powerfully reveals her terrors and pleasures as she forges ahead – on a journey that maddens, strengthens, and ultimately heals.
