The original Showtime series, “Californication” has
completed its sixth season and to celebrate, eOne Music is releasing the album,
“Music From The Showtime Series Californication Season 6.” The television
series centers around Hank Moody (David Duchovny) as a hedonistic novelist who
struggles to be a good father to his college-aged daughter and who still
carries a flame for his ex-girlfriend. The series has won several awards
including Emmys in 2008, 2009 and a Golden Globe in 2008.
The album is choke full of rock, including five outstanding
cover songs and originals including Johnny Thunders’ “You Can’t Put Your Arms
Around A Memory,” Warren Zevon’s "For My Next Trick, I’ll Need A Volunteer” and
Joe Walsh’s “Funk 50.” The soundtrack also includes a previously unreleased
song, “So Long (As We Are Together)” from Australian musician/comedian/actor
Tim Minchin. But the real gems on this album are the diversity of the cover
songs from the likes of punk rocker Steve Jones (Sex Pistols) performing David Bowie’s
“Suffragette City” to folk/pop artist Lissie performing Metallica’s “Nothing
Else Matters.” The adrenaline gets flowing during Marilyn Manson’s cover of
Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus,” the highlight of the album is Ryan Adams’
acoustic version of Iron Maiden’s “Wasted Years.” The album closes with the
mellow grunge sounds of The Soundtrack Of Our Lives with “What’s Your Story”
and Beth Hart’s gentle “My California.”
