I Am Sam - Soundtrack

Soundtrack

The Grammy Award-nominated soundtrack consists of cover versions of songs by The Beatles. Penn commissioned artists such as The Black Crowes, Stereophonics, Eddie Vedder, Sheryl Crow, Sarah McLachlan, Rufus Wainwright, The Wallflowers, Ben Harper, The Vines and Ben Folds, to cover the songs for the soundtrack. Penn's brother, Michael Penn, is also featured on a duet with his wife Aimee Mann.
