"Walk the Line" is a
Grammy Award-winningsoundtrack from the movie "Walk the Line " releasedNovember 15 ,2005 byWind-Up Records . There are nine songs performed byJoaquin Phoenix , four songs byReese Witherspoon , one song byWaylon Payne , one song byJohnathan Rice , two songs byTyler Hilton , and one song byShooter Jennings . At theGolden Globe Awards Phoenix won best actor and Witherspoon won best actress in a musical or comedy for their portrayals in the film. Witherspoon went on to win the Academy Award for best actress."Walk the Line" is an enhanced CD which also contains two deleted scenes from the film, Phoenix performing "Rock 'n' Roll Ruby" and Phoenix and Witherspoon together near the scene of "Jackson".
At least some of the takes on the CD, notably "Cocaine Blues", appear to be different takes from those used in the film. This is not an uncommon practice with soundtracks.
The cover features the two stars in an early publicity still, several of which were created (and later included as bonus postcards in the Collector's Edition DVD).
