(PR) ABKCO Records which had digitally released a series of sequential "track packs" during the first season run of the hit SHOWTIME series Californication will now offer TEMPTATION: Music from the Showtime Series Californication as a physical CD collection next month. The June 3 release includes both classic and newly recorded songs by the Rolling Stones, The Doors, Bob Dylan, Elton John, My Morning Jacket, Warren Zevon, Steve Earle and others.
On that same day, TEMPTATION: Music from the Showtimeฎ Series Californication, a digital version of the package, including all of the original "track pack" content plus bonus tracks, will be available through all major digital retail outlets.
The critically acclaimed, cutting edge comedy stars David Duchovny who won a Golden Globeฎ (Best Actor, TV Series, Musical or Comedy) for his role as Hank Moody, a sexually obsessed Los Angeles writer. Additionally, Californication earned a Golden Globe nomination as Best Series/Comedy. The music heard on the series soundtrack has been selected by music supervisors Budd Carr and Nora Felder and reflects an eclectic sensibility that brings together a range of material including new versions of classic songs by well known original artists, previously unreleased music from developing artists, as well as music commissioned specifically for use in the series.
Felder notes, "We look for music that speaks for and stands behind the show's characters, it's not about the biggest buzz bands or the most famous artists, whatever its origin; watchers and listeners want specialized music to complement the uniqueness of this quality show."
Jody Klein, ABKCO's President remarked, "We're excited by our involvement with the music heard in Californication. The music that's been assembled for the first season's soundtrack offers great diversity and underscores, quite literally, just how innovative the series is."
The complete first season of Californication will be released on DVD by Showtime Networks on June 17. The DVD set includes an insert about the ABKCO soundtrack album as Showtime and ABKCO coordinate marketing forces to promote both the DVD and soundtrack album.
