August Rush (Music from the Motion Picture)

Editors’ Notes August Rush features actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers doing his own singing and his vocal performances are just as impressive as his thespian ones — just check the romantic rendition of Van Morrison’s “Moondance.” The intricate guitar playing was done by six-string wizard Kaki King, whose otherworldly progressive “Bari Improv” and “Ritual Dance” both sound like she was born with an extra three fingers on her fretting hand.
