This is not only the original soundtrack to the movie 'Knocked Up', but also an exceptional Loudon Wainwright album. Musicians providing stellar support are Richard Thompson, Greg Leisz, Patrick Warren and Van Dyke Parks.

Rather than an ordinary film soundtrack, this is an exceptional Loudon Wainwright album. Director Judd Apatow explains that he asked the singer / songwriter to score 'Knocked Up' - Apatow's first film since 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin' - only to learn that Wainwright was about to embark on his next recording project with producer Joe Henry.

The resulting album features material that Wainwright had written before the film score that the director wanted to use, other cuts that are instrumental snippets in the movie but are songs with lyrics on the album, and still others that take thematic inspiration from the film.

Among the musicians providing stellar support are guitarists Richard Thompson and Greg Leisz and keyboardists Patrick Warren and Van Dyke Parks.
