True Grit—Joel and Ethan Coen's film adaptation of the 1968 Charles Portis novel, starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, Barry Pepper, and newcomer Hailee Steinfeld—opens in movie theaters across the United States and Canada tomorrow. The film's soundtrack, featuring a score by composer Carter Burwell, a longtime Coen brothers collaborator, is out today and available in the Nonesuch Store.

The soundtrack album includes 20 short original works by Burwell, featuring excerpts from the gospel hymns “Hold to God’s Unchanging Hand," “What a Friend We Have in Jesus," “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms," “Talk About Suffering," and “The Glory-Land Way." Digital versions of the album, including the free MP3s that come with Nonesuch Store orders of the CD, contain a bonus track: Iris DeMent’s rendition of “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms,” which plays during the film’s closing credits.

Burwell recently spoke with Variety about his process for writing and recording the score and just what makes "Burwell in tune with Coen brothers." You can read that at variety.com. Charles Portis, the purportedly "reclusive" author of the book on which the film is based, is the subject of a profile in the Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy blog, which you can read at wsj.com.

True Grit has been nominated for 11 Critics' Choice Awards and six Chicago Film Critics Awards, including Best Score nominations for Burwell from both, and is set to open the Berlin International Film Festival in February.
