NEW YORK, -- Columbia Records, in partnership with FX and Twentieth
Century Fox Television, proudly presents the second installment of music
to FX's highest rated series,
Sons of Anarchy. The soundtrack,
Songs of Anarchy: Vol. 2
features a collection of thirteen songs, including new renditions of classic tunes such as "
Higher Ground
," "
To Sir with Love," "
The Unclouded Day" and "
Travelin' Band".
Songs of Anarchy: Vol. 2
will be available
Monday, November 19, 2012, with the pre-order available today (see below for details).
The collection kicks off with a never before heard recording of "
Sympathy for the Devil," by iconic rock band Jane's Addiction.
"When Jane's Addiction said they were into the idea of doing Sympathy
for the Devil for the show, we were completely blown away. This was
made all the more sweet because theirs was the first and only door we
knocked on. Jane's Addiction is one of the few post 60's/70's, iconic
bands that resonates with our show's mythology. They have typified
rebellion from their very beginnings. It seemed a natural fit between a
band and a song with so many layers of meaning to the Sons of Anarchy
narrative. I can proudly say that the end product speaks for itself.
Working with them, as a band and as individuals, was an incredibly
satisfying experience."- Bob Thiele (SOA music composer).
Jane's Addiction guitarist
Dave Navarro will also guest star in the last two episodes of the season, as a member of the Byz Lats gang with close ties to Nero (
Jimmy Smits).
Golden Globe
