This is the original soundtrack collection of music from the folk music parody ensemble comedy film directed by
Christopher Guest.

An affectionate and incisive homage to the contemporary folk music
boom of the early 1960s, "A Mighty Wind" is the latest documentary
style comedy from director Christopher Guest (perhaps best-known as
Nigel Tufnel in "This Is Spinal Tap," Guest has directed "Best Of
Show," "Waiting For Guffman" and others). "A Mighty Wind" is the story
of a fictitious 60s folk trio, the Folksmen (played by Christopher
Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer), who are called out of
retirement to perform at a memorial concert for the recently deceased
folk impresario Irving Steinbloom.

Joining the Folksmen at the Steinbloom memorial hootenanny are the
equally fictitious and hilarious Mitch & Mickey (Eugene Levy, who
cowrote the film with Guest, and Catherine O'Hara) and the New Main
Street Singers (David Alan Blasucci, John Michael Higgins, Jane Lynch,
Christopher Moynihan, Steve Pandis, Parker Posey, and Patrick Sauber).
All the songs on A Mighty Wind - The Album are sung and played by the
actors themselves, some of whom learned to play the instruments that
can be heard on the tracks.

The music on A Mighty Wind - The Album is an assortment of wry
send-ups of various folk groups of the early '60s, doing for that
halcyon bygone era what "This Is Spinal Tap" did for heavy metal.
Available as a CD-Extra on A Mighty Wind - The Album is the exclusive
Mitch & Mickey "outtake" performance of "When You're Next To Me,"
which is not in the film nor available anywhere else.
