BIG LEBOWSKI / O.S.T. Vinyl LP

2014 vinyl LP reissue. The Coen Brothers' 1998 film noir spoof, the Big Lebowski, with Jeff Bridges' shaggy title character, "The Dude," has gained a fervent following, complete with annual conventions, where phrases like "The Dude will abide" have entered the vernacular. With the Coens' typical care and love of music they demonstrated throughout their diverse career, the Big Lebowski soundtrack has become just as much of a cult classic as the film itself. Album highlights include songs accompanying a trio of bowling scenes: Bob Dylan's New Morning track, "The Man in Me" over the title credits, the Busby Berkeley influenced psychedelia of Kenny Rogers and the First Edition's "Just Dropped in (To See What Condition My Condition is In") and the Gypsy Kings' redefining take on the Eagles' "Hotel California," as John Turturro licks his bowling ball.
