Bruce Hornsby's Soundtrack To Spike Lee's RED HOOK SUMMER CD Available Tomorrow, August 28th

Soundtrack Available Now Digitally

Film Opened Wide August 24th

"The second pillar of his Red Hook spectacle is the stunning songs by Judith Hill and the music production of Bruce Hornsby. The soundtrack for this film might just outlast the memory of the visuals -- the way Curtis Mayfield's Superfly continues on today. It walks us into the pain and beauty, the anger and redemption, that is African American music. Each song comments on and advances the story. In doing so, the music does not just enhance the film, it lays down the theme and heart of it." Rick Ayers, Huffington Post

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Bruce Hornsby is set for the CD release of his soundtrack to the Spike Lee film RED HOOK SUMMER tomorrow, August 28(th). The film was released in New York City August 10 and nationally on August 24(th). The self-produced soundtrack consists of Hornsby's distinctively evocative original instrumental solo piano compositions with two vocal tracks also included. The soundtrack is a key element of the film and has been widely lauded amongst high profile reviews of the film. Says the New York Times' Stephen Holden: "'Red Hook Summer,' like most of Mr. Lee's films, has a prominent musical soundtrack that underscores the editorial tone of the screenplay, written by Mr. Lee with James McBride. Its binding ingredient is the sturdy, gospel-tinged piano of Bruce Hornsby..." Aaron Hillis of the Village Voice refers to the film as "musically charged." Through a partnership with 429 Records, Hornsby's album is available now as a wide digital release. 429 Records will release a CD version on August 28(th).

RED HOOK SUMMER, Hornsby's second project for 429 Records, follows up 2011's BRIDE OF THE NOISEMAKERS--a 2CD collection of 25 handpicked songs recorded live on tour in various venues between 2007 and 2009. The American singer, pianist, accordion player and songwriter has nurtured a highly respected repertoire, drawing freely from the musical worlds of classical, jazz, bluegrass, folk, Motown, rock and blues. This diversity is reflected in his songwriting and the seamless improvisations of his creative live performances.

RED HOOK SUMMER is a film written and directed by Spike Lee. The film will be released on August 10(th) by 40 Acres and a Mule. The story is centered on Flik Royale, a thirteen year old boy from Atlanta who is sent to live with his preacher grandfather, Da Good Bishop Enoch Rouse.
