Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jackson Browne penned a new song called “Here” for the latest Kevin Spacey therapy flick “Shrink.” Appropriately Browne’s track is a sort of self-aware, Laurel Canyon-esque song that salutes the acoustic Americana style.

The tracklist is all mixed up from the original edition, but the new songs include four new versions of the Marshall Crenshaw-penned “Walk Hard” theme, including a punk version, the Jackson Browne, Jewel, Lyle Lovett, Ghostface Killah version, the disco-y ’70s TV Show theme song version and the very-explicit hip-hop version by Lil’ Nutsack (the filthiest song you have ever heard…and man, it’s really dirty,” said Judd Apatow).

Pull out your notebook. This one might get a little hairy. Pitchfork is reporting that Billboard has reported (got that?), that Lyle Lovett has record the title track to the upcoming John C. Reilly, music spoof biopic, “Walk Hard: The Story of Dewey Cox” (in a throw-away line at the end of their article)

Not only is it Mr. Lovett, he’s enlisted the oh-so-wacky trio of Jewel, Jackson Browne and wait for it, Ghostface Killah [PFM says Word?
