    Fantastic soundtrack to what will be a fantastic movie. The soul radiates in every song. I wish Timberlake, Sands, Isaac, and Mulligan could all make an album someday with Mumford. Such heartwarming music. Watching the movie will only make it better.

    This is an amazing soundtrack, simply because it is more than just an accompaniment, it's a "best of" for the folk music scene. Oscar Isaac is amazing at both capturing Van Ronk's essence while also making the songs his own and Timberlake and Mulligan breathe new life into the overly familiar song 500 Miles. I would highly recommend this album as both an introduction for those unfamiliarThis is an amazing soundtrack, simply because it is more than just an accompaniment, it's a "best of" for the folk music scene.

    As focused and professional as it is, the Inside Llewyn Davis soundtrack is everything you wouldn’t expect from the Coen brothers: measured, serious, and kind of lifeless.

    From the traditional folk cover of "The Last Thing on My Mind" (originally by Tom Paxton) sung by actor Stark Sands to the anti-war political charge of "Please Mr Kennedy," featuring Timberlake, it rarely fails to capture the mood.

    The soundtrack delivers a faithful sample of Bleecker Street's earnest, antique folkery, ably sung by actor Oscar Isaac, Justin Timberlake, Marcus Mumford and others.
